Daniel, please take a look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if you have that file). I've had the same error message after I upgraded from Kubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 (with updates) yesterday. After many hours trying bring my system to live I've found that in my case it was: Load "v4l" option in "Module" section of this file. I haven't gave up as I've had remastered (with xorg-edgers/radeon ppa) pendrive with Kubuntu 10.10 and it was working fine, so I've tried to use default livecd kernel and it's initrd, then xserver-xorg-video-ati and *-radeon from xorg-edgers/radeon ppa, then r300g dri driver from that ppa and later using default kdmrc and deleting xorg.conf - this helped to start Xorg properly so I was digging in xorg.conf options (I've got many of them in my 2-card multiseat environment) and the problem was with "v4l" module. -- Xorg assert failure: X: /usr/include/xorg/privates.h:122: dixGetPrivateAddr: Assertion `key->initialized' failed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/635811 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
