Bug Description
Hi,
System:
ThinkPad T60 2007-ZT6
(graphic card: ATI Mobility RADEON X1400 128MB GDDR-SDRAM)
Reproduction:
1. Booting Ubuntu 7.04 from DVD (AMD64)
2. Install restricted ATI driver (fglrx). Do NOT reboot.
3. Install Ubuntu
Symptom:
X-Server startup fails while booting fresh installed system. No GDM, just the console.
Solution:
I do not have much experiance with linux.
For me reconfiguring xorg.conf with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" as described in http://
After doing so everything was fine. I installed the restricted ATI driver again (no Live-System now) and did not have any problems with it.
For me it seems that the "Ubuntu install process" takes the already modified xorg.conf from the "fglrx-install" but does not perform the necessary operations normally done by rebooting the system after "fglrx install".
But that's just an assumption...

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 114296, and should be fixed in Gutsy.
