I can't post more information because yesterday I had to format my laptop, sorry but I really needed to. But I think I have more info, I remember changing this, that could have triggered the error:
Login Window Preferences / Security / Configure X Server / Command. I wanted to include "-dpi 96" option but I could have failed to put it in the correct order so xorg could not start. I can't confirm this was the change but it is very likely, so I think it is a good start. Like Timo Aaltonen, I also don't agree this is an xorg issue. When I submited this bug report, I selected Ubuntu as a package (because it is unknown to me) and I haven't changed it to xorg. I think is not xorg's fault, but Ubuntu's new "failsafe" (or however it is called) method that appears when something goes awful with X and cannot start with current configuration. When clicking its "Shutdown" button (graphically, as I get a very simple VGA ressolution but with X), it happens what I described in my comments above. Sorry but I can't find an screenshot of this window but searching over the net I found the translation strings of that dialog, hoping this could help you understanding what I mean: (http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00597.html) In my first comment forgot to tell I was using Ubuntu 7.10 (release) x86 and applied all available updates. -- Gain root shell when X broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178718 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
