Hi,

I went to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XorgOnTheEdge
Then I went to https://launchpad.net/~tormodvolden/+archive.
I added the following to my sources.list:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tormodvolden/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/tormodvolden/ubuntu hardy main

Did aptitude update and then aptitude dist-upgrade. Rebooted pc. Still
not working.

Then I rebooted Kubuntu in recovery mode. Renamed my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
to xorg.confOLD.

Ran X -configure to force X to create a new xorg.conf file. xorg.conf
creation failed. Logfile for this is "X-configure-errors"

Currently, my Xorg still only works when using the ATI fglrx drivers.

I now did the following dangerous upgrade:

xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.7.197+git20080108.fa3e2055-0ubuntu0tormod_i386.deb

Will reboot pc and let you know if it helped. Fingers crossed ;-)
