Try to build/install the latest openchrome driver and enable debug mode.
The detail build instruction for Ubuntu/Debian is available at:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome

I did edit xorg.conf changing the driver from vesa to openchrome. After restart it got blank screen after login. Then i using safemode to change driver to vesa and it worked. Then i try untick "show this dialog on startup" splash screen on normal mode. Then i changing back driver to openchrome on safemode and then i login on normal mode and its now fine. The problem right is the splash screen which it make cannot login. It always return to login screen. http://www.linuxmint.com/pictures/screenshots/julia/thumb_mintwelcome.png

Try to run the openchrome once again.
After have blank screen restart and start safemode (without graphic).

Copy the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file and attach in this bug.

This problem only occur on linuxmint and it doesn't related with ubuntu.

Try to disable compiz or AIGLX.

To disable AIGLX, you could use following command in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf by adding option:
   Option "AIGLX" "false"

[X&Y (linuxmint10)]

After follow your advice. It can't display normal screen. Only black screen + command line output.
