Thank you for reporting this issue. Are you able to login via a text terminal at all (pressing CTRL-ALT-F1)? Also they disabled the CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE sequence in Jaunty for reasons I don't completely agree with.

I have looked around at your video chipset and noticed that other issues have been reported, such as bad rendering against it so I don't have a problem with confirming this issue after a bit of troubleshooting.

So you have tried with and without an xorg.conf file. I am curious which situation actually gave you the basic X screen and if any error messages followed once you got it. X no longer requires xorg.conf and it is generally recommended to use X without it, but of course you can tweak it as I did with mine. One thing for sure is that your old xorg.conf will not (at least with my experience) work with Jaunty, you would need to create a new one as xorg has changed frequently.

If you can get to a text login can you please run:

sudo apt-get-update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install (just to make sure we didn't miss anything)

after the updates ran through please reboot your computer and report if there were changes.

Thanks,

Richard Seguin
