** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released

I made some changes in between trying to see whether they would help it to load up (such as explicitly defining the driver in xorg.conf) but those didn't change the situation. I'm stuck now, not sure what to do, and would appreciate some hints. I asked for help in #ubuntu but since I don't know what exactly the problem is we didn't get anywhere really. If there's anything I can do to provide more information please let me know. This may be an issue related to gdm actually, since the only error message I can find now is in /var/log/gdm/:0.log: Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again. Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.x.org for help. ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log /var/log/gdm/:0.log (END) But maybe I missed something in the other relevant logs...
