Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Recently some uploads to karmic-proposed were trying to fix the
bulletproof-X support.  These are still not working.

Trying to manually run the failsafe X server you get: 
      Warning:  Could not generate /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe for vesa driver

Adding set -x, you can see why it's failing:

+ [ !  ]

+ export PERL_DL_NONLAZY
+ [  ]
