Comment 10 for bug 464591

"no, you are wrong. i used the standard open source driver in jaunty from the repo, i also didnt compile anything. i didnt even install them because it booted with that driver after i changed the graphics card from a broken nvidia to ati in jaunty."

What you're saying doesn't add up. In the bug description you said "the upgrade breaks proprietary graphics drivers" and here you say you use only open source drivers. Both things cannot be true.

I never said *you* compiled anything, what I said was the version of your kernel does not match what it is supposed to be. Look in your Xorg.0.log:

   Current Operating System: Linux dust 2.6.28-16-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 20 19:48:24 UTC 2009 i686

Karmic ships 2.6.31. So you are not even using the Karmic kernel. The compile date on that is pretty recent, so if you didn't rebuild it, something or somebody did, and it would be no surprise that it would no longer work with the proprietary drivers. I don't know where you got that kernel, but it is not an X issue.

Regarding the flickering on boot, that is a known issue between gdm and upstart, bug #441638.

"so can i spread out your word that graphics problems are not going to be fixed?"

If you wish to make yourself look foolish, that is your own business.
