Fixed with this line on /etc/default/grub:

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset"

instead of the original

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

and rerun update-grub, in Oneiric Ocelot.

Title:
  X fails to start properly when using the open source radeon/ati driver

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am using Ubuntu Oneric. Everything used to be fine, but recent
  updates (up to two and a half of week ago) broke my X. It works okay
  when I use the FGLRX driver, but when I uninstall it, it does not
  start properly. Instead of getting to the login screen, I see a black
  screen, with an X-shaped mouse pointer, and nothing else.

  I've sent the apport report, how else can I help?
