Dear Mika,
http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2006/09/29/ubuntu-crashes-on-start-and-returns...
is the apparent problem....
aaargh - for the convenience of leaving stuff out on the desktop and one click network access, I have spent two days chasing a non-existing problem....
You patience is deeply appreciated.
All the best,
M

this is not a fglrx issue, as it occurs with any driver.
Ok.
Notice the difference in the log marked root, where I directly logged in to gnome as root - the desktop environment simply works.
[...]
Note as well: if I edit the xorg.conf file by hand and remove the monitor that grml-x installs, it is there again on the reboot, so I would like a way to try to write my own xorg.conf and not have it touched on the reboot. Is this possible?
Huh?! grml-x isn't executed neither on booting nor automatically at all. It must be something different therefore. Check out /etc/runlevel.conf if there's anything what might touch your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
[...]
The relevant lines are:
AUDIT: Wed Dec 27 17:17:13 2006: 2839 X: client 3 rejected from local host ProcXCloseDevice to close or not ? ProcXCloseDevice to close or not ? AUDIT: Wed Dec 27 17:17:44 2006: 2839 X: client 15 rejected from local host Synaptics DeviceOff called
And before those lines there're some errors regarding the AIGLX stuff:
| (EE) AIGLX error: dlsym for __driCreateNewScreen_20050727 failed (/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driCreateNewScreen_20050727) | (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
So, does deactivating GLX/DRI help? Just disable the lines:
Load "dri" # direct rendering Load "glx" # 3D layerin xorg.conf.
Oh, and does starting gnome via startx as user (*without* gdm) work? Just put 'exec gnome-session' to the end of your ~/.xinitrc and run startx with gdm disabled.
