Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-core

This happened to me by accepting the official update notification
about
xserver-xorg-core version : 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10.3

After accepting this packege to install you should reboot your system.
While rebooting you get a great surprise as with error message "Failed to start X server (your graphical interface)"

Unfortunetly you can't start xserver neither gdm.

my solution is to downgrade the version by
>sudo apt-get install xserver-core1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10
after that
>startx

But be careful, sometimes you can lose your desktop settings after downgrade
