I think this question is better suited for superuser.com because it is related to computer software and not programming. – Igor Popov Jun 27 '10 at 8:57

run:

sudo su
X -configure
cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

reboot the machine and try.

If doesn't work, paste here /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and eventually: /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I also experienced this error when I upgraded from 9.04 to 10.04. At first, I thought there is problem with my installation so I reinstalled 10.04. But then after I updated the libraries and restarted my PC, same old error occured again. It is really wasting my time! My whole weekend was wasted! What the hell!

The best thing I did was downgrade to 9.04 because I know that is a bug that the programmers didn't notice. And also 10.04 is under Alpha stage, so expect bugs.

I also suspect it's a hardware/software issue. Some say that I should also download a driver for my video card...Mmm... still frustrating because I expected that all drivers are available. – Joenas Ejes Jun 29 '10 at 3:51
