Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

This is new to Karmic. I have not had this problem before. I first tried
to go into a virtual console using Alt+F1 etc. The system froze. It
could not be contacted by another machine on the network. I reformatted
twice and performed a clean install. After a few successful boots, X
server would stop loading. The screen would go blank and the system
would freeze leaving no option but to do a hard reboot. I was able to do
a startx from a recovery console (by getting into it using the shift key
during the bootloader stage). The attached Xorg.0.log.old captures the
problem when the X server gives up.

After some attempts, it may randomly decide to load up again. No reason
that I can make out

I have experienced some screen freezes in jaunty (32 bit *not* 64-bit).
I have never experienced this with Hardy *ever*, in which I installed
the proprietary fglrx drivers.

But Karmic has been unstable in this respect from Day 1. I have no
choice but to go back to jaunty, or look for another distribution or
hope that someone advises me how to get around this, since work is
severely affected.

I am also attaching a  gdm log of today just in case it helps.
