I'm still learning Ubuntu, and I seem to have blown up (Carnivore will love that) the X video display on a Ubuntu 9.04 box. No amount xorg.conf massaging or boot options seems to get it back. Is there a master xorg package that I can use with apt-get to reinstall all the display stuff? If not, is there an entire desktop package (everything above init 5) that I could do the same with?
Delete your xorg.conf file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and run the command
xorgconfig to create a basic config file.
IF xorgconfig doesn't work you can also try running command xorgcfg
If all else fails try command "Xorg -configure"

Allude to xorg.0.log and any salient features in dmesg, remove xorg.conf retry include allusion to new logs mention what videocard is involved find me some goji berry juice

Apt refreshing (over removing it without dependent apps, and reinstalling it) Xorg and the relevant modules for nv or ati (or the Free as in denial of IP ascription) etcetera should do. Blow_up modules; what'll they think of next.
Ok, I have to run downstairs to another room to see the results, but not sure it worked completely. I removed xorg.conf, ran Xorg -configure, and it complained extensively about fglrx, the offending ATI video driver that is the source of all these problems, and then it segfaulted. I think I will probably need to remove this driver.

IF xorgconfig doesn’t work you can also try running command xorgcfg
If all else fails try command “Xorg –configure”

After deleting the xorg.conf and running both Xorg --configure and dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, I still get the same mangled and totally unreadable display. I know I need to unload that fglrx module, but if I do a modprobe -l I don't see anything like it listed. What can I do to see what is loading it where?

Edit your xorg.conf file and in the "Device" section replace flgrx with
ati and reboot.
See if that works. The ati driver is the opensource ATI driver provided
by xorg.

See loaded modules
/sbin/lsmod
Remove a module named "module.name"
/sbin/rmmod module.name
It is supposed to be the same--and better in some ways, to use the -r option to remove modules
/sbin/modprobe -r module.name
However for me sometimes that fails.
Loads a module "module.name"
/sbin/modprobe module.name
