[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 485651] Re: Karmic + KDM + NVidia = Can't boot (low graphic mode)

[DerDave]

Actually, I solved my problem, which was fglrx-related. Removing
/etc/ati/amdpcsdb was the solution to my error message "fglrx: Unknown
EDID version 0". X server failed to start and I was in the situation
described above.

Anyway it looks like this is happening any time X11 fails to start.

Hope you'll find your way !

I confirm the bug, since latest updates including xorg and kernel-image-
generic.

I don't think it's driver related, since I'm using *unsupported* fglrx and a 
simple "/etc/init.d/kdm restart" works beautiful...
It really looks like something is loading wrong at boot time, or at the wrong 
moment, 

Chances are, it's a kdm startup bug, since i read somewhere that gdm
isn't affected.

Hope it helps.
