I had the same error. To fix this I installed ubuntu in new partition, and copied the below files from xorg 7.4+3ubuntu7, then everything was ok with the old partition.
/etc/gdm/failsafeXinit /etc/gdm/failsafeXServer Attached is the log file when it failed. ** Attachment added: "Xorg.failsafe.log.old" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36420338/Xorg.failsafe.log.old -- Garbled screen after updating x11-common https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490922 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
