[Linux-disciples] X.org stops working after upgrade

[Adam Rosi-Kessel]

It's not clear that the module failures are what's causing x.org not to
load. Do you have copies of old xorg.0 startup logs where you can see if
you had those same errors before?

Did you try just reconfiguring x.org--I assume you can do
dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg in Ubuntu?

It sounds like a packaging error, I would try just downgrading.
