Without knowing what "ATI  X.Org accelerator" you installed it's pretty
hard to assist. From the terminal:

$ tail /var/log/dpkg.log

should show the last package that you installed. The whole log can be
rather long so open it in nano: nano /var/log/dpkg.log if you need to
see other than the last installed package.

For instance, yesterday I installed quite a few packages, the last one I
installed was xvidcap:

$ tail /var/log/dpkg.log
2009-06-27 14:45:54 status unpacked xvidcap 1.1.7-0.2ubuntu1
2009-06-27 14:45:54 status unpacked xvidcap 1.1.7-0.2ubuntu1

2009-06-27 14:46:26 status unpacked xvidcap 1.1.7-0.2ubuntu1
2009-06-27 14:46:29 status half-configured xvidcap 1.1.7-0.2ubuntu1
2009-06-27 14:46:29 status installed xvidcap 1.1.7-0.2ubuntu1

Alternately; boot into recovery mode, run the xfix util & see if that
fixes the issue - or from the terminal:

$ /usr/share/recovery-mode/options/xfix
