updated Xorg now it won't boot after white ubuntu logo

This is fairly typical. You need to recompile the fglrx driver for the new kernel.

Try booting to the terminal only and do: apt-get remove -purge *fglrx*.

I use sgfxi to install latest fglrx module, it broke today - no biggy, sgfxi soon rebuilds new module - but I noticed on teh way it upgraded package libgl1-mesa-glx which wasn't upgraded with the kernel upgrades (et al) of today, which is interesting....

Have people using the Ubuntu fglrx had this issue also?

Ok. I tried Ctrl+F2, F3-F5 and for a brief second this shows up and then the screen goes black. The monitor doesnt go into stand by.Everything worked great till the update this morning.

Later edit: i booted with shift pressed and i chose the previous kernel .14. i managed to boot into ubuntu but in low graphics mode. there i reinstalled ati drivers from amd.com. did a reboot, got into ubuntu again and everything is ok now exept for the fact that my mouse cursor is MISSING! i've had it for today ... im going to bed.

That`s because it should be Ctrl Alt F2 etc etc oops

Im sorry it didnt work for you. It may have though if you had tried installing the driver listed under system>admin>hardware drivers.

Open source drivers normally arent very reliable. (no offense to the writers of the said drivers.)

I got my error fixed now after i selected fix packages in recovery so now i can boot to the desktop with 1 monitor. I had problems with the 2nd monitor because it would not auto detect(it did before) and it would always reset the resolution on start up. So i tried plugging in the monitors in different dvi ports and the 2nd monitor got detected and everything works. Thanks mcoleman44 for the "startx" commend to get me to the desktop.
