I had this same problem. Using Nvidia 8800gts, previously working perfectly in 9.04.
After upgrade X was broken, booted to CLI with flickering. Once logged in, startx said no screens and xinit no such file or folder. After editing xorg.conf using nano to make X use vesa driver instead, I managed to boot to a desktop. However The first time I did this I got four popup warning messages on the desktop saying critical kernel failure. In the end I had to do a fresh install. -- upgrade breaks graphic drivers and x, preventing login or startx https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/464591 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
