hi and this is Xorg.0.log.old file

[Trinity33 (sarah31uk)]

Someone from ubuntu-x irc channel helped me nick <Sarvatt>. i didnt know that after kernel update if im using propriety driver from ati website i need to install that driver again. So i did it and everything is working fine in 2.6.31.21 pae and generic.

The problem was a self installed fglrx that wasn't updated for the new kernel.
