On current Gutsy LiveCD X won't start on Ati x200m

[molnaratt]

Starting the daily livecd of Gutsy, X doesn't boot up correctly, it freezes up. I switched to console and killed gdm. After it I edited manually the xorg.conf by adding these lines:

Section "Module"
    Disable "Dri"
EndSection

and restart the previously killed Gdm. In this way it booted up correctly.

Please attach xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log

Molnaratt, is it the same thing you observe as in this bug report (X always restarting) ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/132207

Hi!
Looks like the same, except one fact: I was unable to start gnome with
safe settings. I guess the problem is caused by the 3D effects. Radeon
x200m doesn't support AIGLX, and I guess that Gnome wants to use it.
However Kubuntu starts normally, maybe because of the lack of 3D effects
by default. I'm sorry that I was unable to help you more, but the most
recent livecds fail to start on my laptop, because of an unionfs bug. So
as I don't know the current state of livecds, maybe my reported bug is
already fixed, but I have to wait for the unionfs fix to test it again.

Best wishes:

I've installed the latest live cd, and it seems that the problem has been fixed. Now everything work fine. Thank you guys.
