I am an issue with my ubuntu box: I get the following error message when I do a startx: Fatal server errors, no screens found
When I start my computer, I do hear the ubuntu sound indicating the system is awaiting for a user session to be opened but the screen is black...
What is more I can't find anything relevant in the Xorg.0.log...
I have copied it here:
