That was a bit harder than usual to do, given I didn't have access to X. And I did search for what I knew, namely bits of the error messages I got but didn't have much success. I even searched the bug reports but apparently didn't look for the right stuff. If I'd have known what the problem was so I can search for it I wouldn't have had so much trouble, now would I. Anyway, what seems to have solved my problem are these two steps: * Adjust the LoadModule directive in xorg.conf to point at /usr/lib/xorg/modules. * Delete my ~/.xauth directory. Thanks for the pointer anyway, I'll pour over the messages in the last few days and see what else I can expect.
