Hi.
In the two years since I have switched from windows to ubuntu, this is the first problem I am unable to solve even after spending more than 5 hours searching for the answer. The problem is the following:
After installing propertial (fglrx) driver for my ati hd 4890 graphic card I am unable to switch from one user to another.(not with the fast user switch applet and not with the button switch user in the locked csreen).
The screen goes black for a few seconds and than I land back where I was before the attempt to switch user(locked screen or desktop). When switching with fast user switch applet the result is:
The graphical interface did not properly start, which is needed for graphical logins. It is likely that the X Window System or GDM is not properly configured.
The X server failed to finish starting.
3 X failed
and in the locked screen:
Cannot start new display
The X server failed. Perhaps it is not configured well.
I would appreciate any help, and if there is a thread with a similar problem, you belive might help, please paste a link.
