Blank screen after I login

[Green_Star]

I upgraded from 1204 to 1210. After the upgrade, I rebooted and loged in at login screen. After login I dont see any panel, its just blank screen. I think it loged-in but couldnt load unity, in my 1204 I configure to auto start temp sensor and Cuttlefish, those windows are poped up, so I guess it is loggin in but couldn't load unity. If I insert audio CD, it pops up asking what I want to do with that audio cd. I tried creating brand new user from command prompt, still no luck with that new user.

I can see the Ubuntu One sync notifications too, so the startup applications are loading but I cant see the unity interface.

When I tried to install ATI binary drivers from command prompt,

when attempting to install the Catalyst Legacy drivers from the ATI binary package (12.6):

DKMS part of installation failed.

...and the log...

Does some one know how to fix it?

I tried the new drivers from following link
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source...+build/3860478

still no luck. So I ran following command

#sudo aticonfig -initial
No supported adaptors detected.

damn.

Couple of years back Linux just used to boot in to atleast minimal graphics mode, these new versions really sucks.

How come a dumb user able to use Linux if it atleast cant boot into a gui?
