happende here too: what helped me:

try this PPA. it helped with my probs

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu karmic main

then do a dist-upgrade

notice:

install ppa-purge at first! if you can't get to X again, you might have
no internet connection (wifi) so the best would be to first dist-
upgrade, then downgrade via ppa-purge, and then dist-upgrade again, then
all packages are in /var/cache/apt/archives and can be installed with
ppa-purge without a internet connection

from their website: !!!!!!!!To revert to official packages, you can
install the ppa-purge package and run "sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers". Note
that you will want to reinstall linux-libc-dev afterwards manually if
you had libdrm-dev installed on karmic and newer!!!!!!!

posted this "solution" also on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/500056

one thing to add: I know my solution isn't first best, but perhaps it
helps someone and the developers can figure out what exactly caused the
problem
