Hi, I did apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade a couple days ago. I got some message about setting up xorg and did I want to let it automatically detect my monitor and mouse. I said yes. I just installed a new HD and restarted.... to find that my GUI system is f**ked.
The start up messages proceed as normal until the stage where the x server is started. The nvidia logo comes up briefly 2 or 3 times and then a blue screen error message comes up saying: I cannot start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagonose the problem? Problem is, I hadn't noticed that I was switching from xfree86 to xorg. I have never used xorg and know nothing about it. Can someone give me some guidance here - why is my system not working and more importantly, what can I do to set it up correctly. I LOVE the apt-get system, but it does lure me into a false sense of security every so often and then I end up with a total screw up like this. Craig
