I have a problem with xserver on my laptop. Ubuntu 12.04.1 is installed. First, I can boot only in terminal mode. When I try to start xserver with command startx it fails.

Seems, that I have a problem with AMD/ATI drivers. Is it possible to fix it?

Thanks.

Try to uninstall fglrx drivers (the ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 card isn't supported by current version of fglrx).

sudo apt-get purge fgrlx or sudo apt-get purge fglrx-updates (the after-release updates)

After, ensure that radeon driver is installed. OSS packages are: xserver-xorg-video-radeon, libdrm-radeon1.
