Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I used apt-get update and upgrade to download new packages. A new kernel
and glfx packages was waiting, everything looked like it installed okay,
when I rebooted the pc never showed the login screen (no matter how long
I waited) ... so I booted with a live CD environment, and after alot of
goofing around I re-installed the ATI drivers by doing a chroot (I never
even knew there was a command like that) ... and when I rebooted
everything worked fine ... please Ubuntu / xorg / glfx ... I do not want
to do this every time you update glfx via the repositories and or kernel
... because I had a minutarure herat attack ... thought all my data was
in bit-heaven ...
