Thanks for the suggestion, but thats not the problem. I should make it clear that X worked perfectly fine before the upgrade. I have a pretty much stock Debian system also.
Someone also suggested that I do a: X -probeonly >out 2>&1 Its a good idea, but it doesn't show any errors that I can see. I've appended the output to the end of this message if anyone would like to take a look. I do notice that it says "Operating System: Linux 2.0.21 i486 [ELF]", but I'm using 2.0.27...maybe thats the system it was compiled on?
