The old configs and permissions can lead to trouble and should be re-created
by the new install.

Its X that handles the mouse and guestAdditions adds a better driver
to work with xorg. No X, no driver...

This is usually because the site needs to access ActiveX controls on your
system which means getting a degree of control over your OS that no one but
you should have. I'd switch banks. ;-)

Lets see your xorg.conf. with newer xorg, it might even be blank since most
of the setup is handled by udev now afaik, but for dual-head, you will need
to config xorg.conf and hope the driver for that card will cooperate.

I've had bad experiences with Ubuntu everywhere i've installed or maintained
it. I'd stick with Debian. Faster, more stable and you can do a base install
and then add whatever desktop etc. you want with no extra BS.

did you try 'startx'? And btw, upgrades or dist-upgrades should be done
without kde running (or gnome etc.). '/etc/init.d/kdm stop', log in as root
and then 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade'. Otherwise you are going
to upgrade packages that are running at the time and you can often break

and btw, i also am using testing and ran a dist-upgrade last night. Xorg was
upgraded so i had to re-do the nvidia drivers. very likely this is your
problem.

and... according to the specs on that mobo, you have a Radeon HD 4250 which
should work just fine with the xorg-radeon driver. Its included with Debian
so there's no need to mess with the proprietary stuff.

And btw, what exactly do you consider a 'conspiracy theory'? Could it
perhaps be something that just doesn't 'sound like something i want to
believe'? Much of what the mainstream media feeds us is the illegitimate
bullshit. Don't be so quick to dismiss something without checking the
evidence. Label
hehe when they froze the repo, i just changed my sources.list to testing and
dist-upgraded again.. Let the fun continue! Love the new Amarok!

versions can work without a xorg.conf so I would mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.old,
remove the nvidia driver and see what happens. I'm betting the nv driver will
be loaded without a problem as long as that proprietary blob is gone. this
gives good reason why it should be ins

Is this still about getting a second display working for presentations? If so
its quite easy to do with the nvidia-settings app. You don't need to mess
around with config files either, Nvidia-settings does that for you. You need to
