Binary package hint: xorg

I upgraded this thinkpad x40 from a working version of kubuntu karmic with latest updates and even Kde recommanded PPA.

When booting into lucid, splash screen works and when xorg is initializing, the screen becomes black then the machine immediatly freezes. I suspect a freeze because even kernel magic keys do nothing. I have to power off/on the machine to reboot.

If I boot the latest karmic kernel 2.6.31-20-generic, the machine boots perfectly and the lucid xorg is usable without problem. So I don't know if the problem is related to xorg or the kernel.

I see no crash report in /var/crash.

The rescue lucid recue mode boots OK. If I use the option to fix xorg there I only see a rapid screen mode change then I am put back to the rescue menu with no freeze.

The freeze problem is reproducable at will. I could also reproduce this freeze when booting from a Kubuntu Lucid Live USB.
