Reading the release notes is always a good idea before updating the
version (be it with an in-place upgrade or new install).

Could be related to this:

x11-fonts may not be on your system yet.  adding that package may make 
X11 happier.  At a guess I think what happened here is because X11 is 
missing its fonts first it generates many warnings and eventually 
generates a fatal error.  If you use grep to search log files for fatal 
and error and warning you can learn lots and fix many things. 
dmesg|grep -i warning and dmesg|grep -i error when run through less can 
be informative.
