Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
The machine boots as normal, showing the bootsplash.
When X starts the screen stays black with purple/green bands of static.
(when booting with nosplash several malformed bios
splash screen images are
visible) Switching virtual consoles with C-Alt-Fn doesn't work anymore at this
point. Pushing the power button on this desktop machine shuts it down and the
ubuntu boot/shutdown progressbar apears properly.
This problem apeared after an upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty (which was right
after an upgrade from Gutsy to Intrepid separated by reboots), and I think it
is caused by the xserver.
The problem present independent from the driver used, I tried an empty
xorg.conf, and several forcing the ati, fglrx,
radeon, vesa, and radeonhd
drivers.
