Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg

Release  : Kubuntu 10.04 RC AMD64
Package : xserver-xorg
Problem Description : When starting live CD session instead of logging in to a Kwin interface it starts on console mode (meaning that the hole screen is the console). Trying to explicit start the kwin reports that no X server is not running. Trying to start the X server explicit leads to a blank (black) screen. When power down (button press) i can see the init cursor
of the X server (X) instantly and then i am directed to the console again for something like a second and then to the blue GUI screen with the kubuntu logo prompting to remove CD. In both cases of start-up and shut-down the GUI screens with the logo of kubuntu are shown.

Hardware Information : 
VGA compatible controller : ATI Technologies Inc RV730 PRO [Radeon HD 4650]
Host bridge : ATI Technologies Inc RD790 Northbridge only dual slot PCI-e_GFX and HT3 K8 part
Audio device : ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
Audio device : ATI Technologies Inc R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series]
CPU : AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor
Motherboard : MSI 790FX-GD70 (790FX Northbidge)

Notice that the 9.10 version of kubuntu works fine on that hardware.
Also notice that in the working 9.10 version i am using a custom kernel
2.6.32 (official) with custom built fglrx 8.712 (ATI 10.3 official
driver). In the 9.10 release i had similar problems with the 10.2 ATI
driver. So i assume that is either the X Server or some faulty driver
package (if any is used). The X.Org X Server 1.6.4 of previous version
seems to work fine with both 2.6.32 kernel and the latest ATI fglrx
drivers (with the exception of 10.2)

I hope this info is useful for a better release.
