Ok, this issue gets really really annoying..

As suggested in comment #36 I installed the drivers from https://edge.launchpad.net/~raof/+archive/aubergine. => xserver didn't start anymore. I tried to rollback and was not able to remove this ppa without destroying the while system. ppa-purge did not work correctly here!

After cleaning and reainstalling this packages manually I tried to install this ppa kernels.

2.6.32-23-generic didn't work, as I knew, the X-Server dies.
2.6.35-020635rc1 doesn't boot at all. I did not even find anything in the logs.
2.6.34-020634rc7 is booting successfully, but as in 2.6.32-23 after some while the drm dies and the whole system freezes!
2.6.34-020634 is booting successfully, but the same here, if drm dies after some time, the whole system freezes.

So I am back to 2.6.32-23-generic in which I am at least able to login remotely if the X dies *g*

Any more suggestions, solutions or workarounds here? Please? .... or do I have to switch back to karmic?

Thanks.
