boot hangs at splash screen

[Domen Kožar]

Binary package hint: slim

Using up-to-date 11.04. Seems like slim does not boot (/var/log/slim.log shows it cannot find usable screen). If I use nomodeset slim manager boots, but Unity obviously can not be used.

gdm works as expected whatsoever.

I have a fresh install of 11.04, I tried to install slim, but it just hangs on the loading splash screen. I'm pretty sure I have the same problem as this:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1817994

In /var/log/slim.log it says

Fatal server error:
no screens found

This is really a shame, since I've been using slim with Ubuntu as long as I can remember, and I love it.

But big thanks as always to the hard working devs! :)
