Right.

I used sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, making sure that dri is enabled (leaving it at the defaults)

I went back to -10-generic, and got the latest log. This one appears to be reading the xorg.conf. Still the same problem though - startx and kdm show a blank screen where X crashes, then i cant get back to a terminal.

Interestingly, kdm still breaks on startup in recovery mode (same kernel), but startx (and sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart) will work. And no, it's not my profile.

-7-generic and before work fine, which is what i'm using before this gets solved.
