Solved (mostly). Sorry about the confusion. This bug (?) apparently was caused by a misconfiguration somewhere in the depths of my '.kde' directory tree. My kmail had begun to act strangely which is why I tried to upgrade to gutsy. The mistake was revealed when I created a new user and logged in to test this possibility and all of a sudden, X started to work perfectly. I experimented with copying various suspicious files and directories and the .kde dir caused the glitch. Somewhere in there is a file that corrupts X, but I haven't found it yet.
ALSO!! Power suspend-to-RAM / recover now works work, and trying to run google earth causes a crash, but I'll deal with that later. Just glad to be seeing my laptop alive again. The Synaptics touch pad works as it's supposed to. -- Thinkpad T60 [1680x1050], ATIx1400, no X on Gutsy, Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184992 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
