There is any news on this issue?

I can't use my PC (in graphical mode) for days now.

You are using a mix of packages from xorg-edgers jaunty:
 xserver-xorg 1:7.4+3ubuntu7
 libgl1-mesa-glx 7.7.0~git20091024.94a63dcc-0ubuntu0tormod~jaunty
 libdrm2 2.4.15~git-0ubuntu0tormod~jaunty
 xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2
 xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.12.99+git20091024.f0d9d80f-0ubuntu0tormod~jaunty

Please revert to standard Karmic packages (for instance using ppa-purge) and try again.

I ran ppa-purge and I confirm the problem is fixed.

Thanks a lot
