You don't have proper drivers installed. Use the third party installation ubuntu has to get proper drivers in.

I have solved my problem with Kodibuntu using that
Open the shell Ctrl+Alt+F1
and
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
and
sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle

Naaaa :-(
We don't support fglrx at all - it will render you without hw acceleration and with bad luck 100% cpu load when vsync is enabled on one core.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

again: do NOT install fglrx. It should just work out of the box on a clean install

I think he did not get it. FGLRX is obsolete. No one sane on earth uses it. The gamers left, that have to use that driver, should run windows.

Jep, I think so too. But before he entered I think he already screwed arround with fglrx. Kodibuntu installs the correct drivers out of the box - no need to do anything.

I'm having this same exact issue with a fresh install of KODIbuntu Helix. I would assume this install image comes with everything needed to get things up and running? I'd really like to get this thing running. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My System:
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P motherboard
Intel Q9550 Quad-core CPU
8GB RAM
ATi Radeon HD 6770
EDIT: I should mention that I've tried to reboot it a few times. Again, this is a fresh install and has never worked so far.

Use OpenELEC, which was invented for people, that can't or don't like to fiddle arround with linux. Ubuntu ships a broken kernel in their (unpatched) LTS version which does not allow you to start X on certain AMD hardware.
