Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

This problem may be specific to Lucid on my laptop: a Dell Studi 1557,
with quad i7 CPU and ATI graphics acceleration.  Using
"Sytem/Administration/Hardware Drivers", an ATI driver is found, which I
installed.  Once enabled, I rebooted.  When the X server started, the
screen was garbled, and then switched to low-resolution mode for
recovery, at which point I disabled the ATI graphics driver.  This
driver is especially important as the default driver does not manage
power in the ATI graphics card, which heats the machine and runs the fan
on high at all times.  Also, the default driver does not support OpenGL
on this machine.

I've attached jockey.log, which seems to show some problems.  If anyone
has suggestions on how to proceed, I'd be happy to help debug this on my
machine.
