You have highlighted > (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) This is an interesting line in the log. Why should using a radeon card give such a message? What has radeon to do with nvidia? It could be a logging error but why does it occur? xorg has sorted out which card is present. Incidentally, we know X comes up for the OP (gnome-session runs. Without X it wouldn't). So this may not be the problem at all. glxinfo | grep render is a good command for the OP to run. We would be interested in its output. However, perhaps the OP could look at dpkg -l | grep nvidia and purge any packages if anything nvidia related is in its output. -- Brian.
