I am experiencing the same problem with Xubuntu 12.04, Xorg open source ati driver ,and an AGP X1950Pro 256M video card.

Right after login i land to a black screen, by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 i can log to a tty and see what is happening in the log.
When i enter
tail -f syslog
and then switch back to CTRL-Alt-F7, and the press Ctrl-Alt-Num+ (to switch to next available resolution), then the original error message appers in the tailed log:

[drm:drm_mode_getfb radeon] *ERROR* invalid frame buffer id
