Looks like something is wrong with the kernel DRM.  We're likely to pull
in the 2.6.33 DRM which may well fix this.  You can test it by
installing one of the mainline kernel builds.

Meanwhile, popping this over to the kernel team.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  I have been running Lucid for about three weeks.  Roughly five days ago,
  on a reboot, X did not start properly, and I was presented with a
  recovery screen, which allowed me to use a low-graphics mode for that
  session only.
  
  However, it turns out that X starts perfectly roughly three out of every
  four boots.  I have no idea what might be causing this intermittent
  behavior.  I doubt it is a hardware problem - I have been using this
  machine continuously with no problems for about a year.
  
  The xorg log attached automatically by ubuntu-bug shows what happens
  when I am thrown into low-graphics mode.  The 'old' xorg log attached by
  ubuntu-bug is from my previous boot - it shows a successful startup.
  
  Please let me know what additional information I might supply to help
  troubleshoot this odd (at least to me!) problem.  In case it is helpful,
  I have attached the section of my syslog from this startup.
  
  Also starting about five days ago, I lose all video during the boot -
  for a length of time my monitor displays 'no signal'.  So, for example,
  if a fsck is run during the boot, I have no idea what is happening, as
  there is no video output during that stage of boot.
