I had this problem as well. But it was not related to xbmc at all. I had already setup Hardy and ran all my updates, got the system stable as I am running this on a ASUS M3N78-VM with a 8200 Chipset on a stock hardy kernel without all_generic_ide in the grub boot menu. I am also running the latest Nvidia driver 173.14.12.
Anyhow, I installed Lirc .0.8.3 from ctl-alt-f2 and when I rebooted my xorg.conf file was pooched and I had to build a basic low res low refresh. I did it booted hardy and then I had the same problem.
I deleted all my xorg.conf files from /etc/x11 including backups fail safes etc.. and then rebooted it came back up at full resolution but was still not running the nvidia 173.14.12 driver but the restricted glx driver. So I went to a command line at root and ran nvidia-xconfig and then rebooted and all is well again and xbmc loads up just fine. My XBMC is the latest Atlantis ppa for hardy and by the way it seems to be just fine. I have not shared any files yet but everything is perfect otherwise. DVD playback from the installed drive works just fine. Time Zone I see is fixed, iec958 is working for passthrough just fine as well. Thanks Devs.
So I am not sure if something in the latest Lirc install is overwriting the xorg.conf file or just in the order I installed things.
but that is how I fixed it.
