(Get the code!)
I am using Edgy on a Compaq V2402 laptop (ATi Radeon Xpress 200M with either the Ubuntu repository fglrx driver, a hand-rolled fglrx driver 2.0.6234 / 8.32.5 and a couple of older versions, the radeon or vesa driver).
I get the greeter "appears to be crashing" message with the functioning fall-back greeter.
This is irrespective of whether I have cold started up, rebooted, logged out, or restarted X with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.
I believe there might be cause to investigate this further, and may not necessarily be a X or driver problem. I will attach relevant bits of /var/log/gdm/:0.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log from my laptop shortly (later tonight or tomorrow!) but there is mention of
(EE) AIGLX error: dlsym for __driCreateNewS
which sounds like ATi and their hopelessly out of date DRI, and also
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/wacom (no such file or directory)
Which, like Chess, is a total F mystery...? ;-)
