What are the error messages you see every 2 seconds? Can you paste them
in?
You mention a big white box, can you attach a photograph of the screen
as an example (just in case there is some additional clues).
Also try turning off Desktop Effects and see if that affects the issue -
white windows suggest a rendering issue.
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Im in lucid Beta 1. I manage to get to the Desktop without problems. I
can explore the menus from the panel and unfold the calendar, but when I
try to open the first window, ANY window, I get a big white box and
clicking doesnt work anymore, even though I can move the mouse for a
while. I can also go back to the tty, even thought I keep getting
messages of error every 2 seconds which makes it quite annoying...
