Question #78419 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78419

    Status: Open => Answered

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
if you uninstall the ati driver it will get you an x server, if you boot
to recovery root console and run:

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

And change:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

to

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Configured Video Device"
    Driver   "vesa"
EndSection

Then it will force the failsafe driver to be used.
