(Get the code!)
I have an ATI X1250 card, using a hp 6715s notebook with an amd sempron 3600+ processor and 1gig ram. Using alpha2, I got exactly the same error message as the others here. I tried to copy over all the relevant log files via ssh to post them here. But before I had the time to do that, the screen just turned black, and the computer froze completely. This happened several times, every time within a few minutes. So, every time, before I had the time to scp the files over, the computer froze.
With alpha3, if I disable usplash this will happen:
It will come past "starting gdm", then switch between blank screen and the bootup-text screen a few times, and after that nothing happens. I'm still able to use the computer in terminal-mode, but it does not even put out an error message that configuring X failed.
With usplash enabled it get's quite far in the booting process, and then suddenly just turns blank, and freezes completely.
So alpha3 works worse for me. Maybe my problem with the freezing is due to something else than X, i don't know, but it seems quite likely as it freezes as the screen turns blank, and about the same time when X was supposed to start. It's quite hard to investigate any further when it is completely frozen. ;-)
Note: This notebook did not work with Gutsy either. I'm using the 32-bit version of ubuntu.
