Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

Lucid fails to start xorg after latest updates. Sometimes, I get a text
login screen, sometimes I just get a screen with an underscore in the
corner and gibberish when I type anything (and have to shutdown with
magic SysRq codes). Everything starts fine if I pass radeon.modeset=0
with GRUB.
