Right. Yesterday the update manager presented me a kernel(headers) update, so I installed that. It required a reboot, which I just did. “X can only be started in low graphics mode”. WTF?! The last time I had this (see a couple of postings back) I reverted from the non-free ATI driver to the free driver. It meant a little performance loss, but it worked. Now the free ATI driver is not working anymore as well. “Saw a signal 11” is what it reports, basically saying: you’re fucked in the ass, so you’d better like it.
If I can’t fix this in a reasonable amount of time, this is the last thing Ubuntu does on my machine. What a fuck-up!
