Hi Cristobal.

xserver-xorg-core 1:1.0.2 (I believe this was the most recent update.)
ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY driver
Ubuntu Dapper w/2.6.15.24 Kernel

Upon the start of X I got the error "Unable to find screen."  Going 
through the configuration of X was flawless and without errors, however, 
upon typing startx..... I would receive the same error.  I reloaded the 
ATI driver.  Still the same error.  I reloaded the xserver-xorg-core 
update.  Still the same error.  I also completely reinstalled X.  Still 
the same error.

I also then booted up the live CD of Ubuntu Dapper and compared the X 
files used by the CD with the ones already loaded on my system.  I 
couldn't find anything that was an issue.

I then went through a complete reinstall of Ubuntu Dapper and downloaded 
the same update which caused the issue with the hopes of replicating the 
issue and acquiring more data.  After a reboot X loaded normally with no 
issues.  I assumed at that point that it was a glitched install of the 
update that pooched something else in the system that I didn't have the 
patience to locate.  Quite an oddity.

Unfortunately, I didn't copy or save the log files prior to reloading 
the OS.

I'm not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but I felt that I 
should communicate it in case they are.  Thanks for your time.
