I will be doing some search on that.
In the mean time you can start in recovery mode and choose to reconfigure X server or something like that.

How would I "choose to reconfigure X server"? That is apart from running xpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, which didn't help.
No luck again
Try purgin fglrx.
If it doesn't work, which graphics card have you got? Did you remove the proprietary drivers before upgrading to 10.10?Code:sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx
Ok, tried the purge, and that did the job.
THANK YOU!
So if I've understood correctly there is some incompatibility between the proprietary ATI drivers and Ubuntu 10.10, or perhaps something was broken about my installation (I haven't tinkered with it myself apart from installing upgrades, though).
The generic drivers should work fine -- all that was needed was to remove the broken ones properly. It wasn't entirely obvious how to accomplish this. Is there anything else I should know?
Thanks again for the swift help! This is why Ubuntu rocks, even when it breaks.
You are Welcome!

Happy Ubuntu-ing!
This solved my problem! Thank you!
i solved mine by following the instructions on first page and reinstalling fglrx instead of removing .
I had similar problems half a year ago when I had installed 11.10 on an HP Pavilion g series (they boiled down to a hardware problem solved by adding a HEX key somewhere and this problem, not so easily solved back then - I dislike AMD's APU's).
Today I updated to 12.04 (in-place) and again had the second problem (X failed to load module fglrx). For 12.04 however, I had to use the purge command. I also deleted the xorg.conf file (after another back-up). This made everything work just fine.
