Argh, I got through updating this Sid machine, but when I run startx
I just get a gray screen and no X cursor. I have a Matrox G550 and
was running Xinerama before.
I'll post links to my logs below.
A number of packages were "held back" when I finished the update,
although I doubt this would be a problem for the xserver:
# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
bzflag checkinstall dbus-1-utils ffmpeg gdk-imlib1 gksu
libavifile-0.7c2 libdiscover1 libdiscover2 libggi2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0
libsdl1.2debian libsdl1.2debian-oss mjpegtools mozilla-mplayer
mplayer-k6 ntp planetpenguin-racer python-apt python-crypto
python-twisted-core python-twisted-lore python-twisted-mail
python-twisted-names python-twisted-news python-twisted-runner
python-twisted-web python-twisted-words transcode

Is .xsession still used? That's the file I have been using to start
icewm. So, I created a new .xinitrc file instead with just:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat .xinitrc
exec xterm
And when I run startx > startx.out 2>&1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat startx.out
xauth: creating new authority file /home/moseley/.serverauth.5179

FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" refcount is 2, should be 1;
fixing.
If I rm my .xinitrc then the only difference is the xterm: fatal IO
line is not included.
And the logs: (The error about DRI on the second head is normal)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ fgrep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER

What can I try now? Sure wish I was seeing more error messages.
It's kind of important that I get my work machine up again before
work start tomorrow ;)
