Hi all, I can't find any similar issues on this list - I upgraded my system tracking debian testing yesterday but it's been awhile given by the Xorg changelog at http://lordcow.org/Xorg.changelog.txt and now X doesn't start.
I installed xserver-xorg-legacy and added needs_root_rights=yes to /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config just incase it was that. I tried creating an xorg.conf and setting the driver to intel for older hardware as suggested but this doesn't help. X seems to flash up for a split second but then terminates. The unhelpful log is at http://lordcow.org/Xorg.0.log . I'm getting nowhere trying different drivers and configs, does anyone have an idea?
