if it helps someone, to restore X if egmd fails, do the following:

1) comment (rename /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gma500-emgd-1_8-natty.list to "~gma500-emgd-1_8-natty.list") or delete the file (because this includes other versions of the files you may already have)
2) # apt-get update
3) # apt-get purge xorg* xserver* emgd*
4) # apt-get autoremove (for deleting all extra/related files.. I don't know if really necessary)
5) # apt-get install xorg
6) reboot (might be not necessary)

note: ensure you don't have anymore /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-emgd.conf
if it's still there, delete it (you can easily restore it reinstalling emgd).

I'm using fluxbox and could revive X again doing this.

Title:
  problem with dell inspiron 1210 and emgd - "no screens found" on
  ubuntu 11.04

Status in Intel® Embedded Media and Graphics Driver (Intel® EMGD):
  New

Bug description:
  hi guys. I can't get my netbook working with emgd.
  the error after "startx" from cli:

  ---
  Fatal server error:
  no screens found

  (would you need more details?)
  ---

  my machine:
  i686 - 2.6.38-13-generic-pae
  dell inspiron 1210
  ubuntu 11.04 (natty)
  (I'm using fluxbox)

  I've installed everything following this:
  https://launchpad.net/~gma500/+archive/emgd (installation had no
  problems).
  basically:
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gma500/emgd
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install xorg-emgd emgd-dkms
  sudo emgd-xorg-conf

  dmesg | grep DMI:
  Dell Inc. Inspiron 1012/0P9MDV

  my 10-emgd.conf is by default (I don't know what to touch to get it
  working).
  I can't even use vesa mode because after loading X, it crashes saying
  that vesa was not found.

  do you think you can help me? thank you!
