Having read the Xorg.0.log this looks like the following: 1. Xorg not starting in the built-in LCD but the external display: bug #22985 . The "MonitorLayout" workaround applies to that bug, as well.
2. deactivating bootsplash makes consoles work again: bug #64787 I am not sure why the resolution is not set up properly, the log file doesn't suggest any problems in that regard. -- xorg automatic configuration on edgy 6.10 live CD- branch for x-series ATI cards https://launchpad.net/bugs/69891 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
