Just all the sudden compiz failed and I couldn't get it to relauch so I rebooted the system. Ever since, after the Ubuntu login screen (with 5 round circles in the middle. It just goes to the next screen which is black with various tasks displaying [OK] at the end and freezes. I've switched over to a terminal session and removed fglrx and reinstalled xorg-default drivers. This didn't help because I had a suspicion it was an issue with X. Not sure where else to go but a reinstall. Any one have any ideas to try or to get further where the boot is failing.
Of note, when I reinstalled to the open source drivers, I got a screen saying hardware not detected properly and I hit ok to continue for one session. Then froze at the same screen again so appeared not to be to open source or proprietary drivers.
