Comment 35 for bug 404421

I too have encountered the same problem in my desktop PC running Kubuntu 9.10 ,
 everything was working fine and suddenly on one day I got the error saying
"failed to restore crtc configuration -22" and then drove me to the console login .

When I tried to boot using an Ubuntu 9.10 live CD , then also the same error appears , but now I'm not even getting the console login, instead the error appears on all consoles ........

I'm getting the GUI login when the "safe graphics mode" is selected in Ubuntu 9.10 live CD .

There is no /dev/fb0 (framebuffer device) in my system when running in the "safe graphics mode" ...........

The error might be caused due to some erroneous "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file .
