That sounds too strange to me. If it didn't start, the log file will surely take note. > The problem is, I don't use an automatic manager, I > always startx. So the fix mentioned in digest #660 won't work. Anyone > who wants to take a look at the Xfree.log, try http://68.101.3.223:8080/ Looks pretty good. So what do you get ? No hatched grey area with the cross / mouse ? What else ? Can you be more precise ? You startx, wait, what happens ? How long do you wait ? After a minute or half you can always use Ctrl+Alt+Backslash to kill X. What would be the output afterwards ? > The reason for a reinstall is that I've read that Sid X is broken Not that I knew. Upgraded today and *had* it broken; but due to 4.2.1 moving to 4.3.0. Had to reconfigure X, because it killed the proprietary ATI-Radeon driver. Now I'm happy to be off this thingy and running pure X. As an aside. >From the log, it seems you run a heavily configured XF86Config. My personal experience is usually that this is not always functional. Better cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.oldie and try a new one, with either method, like xf86config, XFree86 -configure xf86cfg or similar (there is a Debian-one, but I don't remember). This won't do great video, but should get your X server back up. Then tweak this a bit and off you go. Usually. So had I this morning to get X back up after the update.
