Friday overnight I upgraded from Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibix to the brand-new 9.04. Upon reboot, the window manager started but failed with a scrambled screen.
Workaround: after hours of poking around....
1) Select recovery mode from grub (or add single to the init line).
2) Select boot to command prompt with network support (netroot??)
3) Enter the root password
4) apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx
5) Reboot
6) Select recovery mode again
7) Select option to fix xwindows (have to scroll down the selections I believe)
8) Select option to boot to command w/network support, again.
9) startx to start the windows manager.
This is a bug. I need to follow up with Canonical.
