OK, I'll just add my grain of salt to the xorg bug. After upgrading, my nvidia drivers wouldn't load (normal, since I'd installed the beta 9xxx drivers from nzone), so I edited my xorg.conf to use the nv driver.
On restarting xorg, it didn't (restart). I unfortunately don't have the logs (I re-installed from edgy beta and upgraded to current) but they mentioned version incompatibilities between the xorg binary and the modules, which meant that said modules refused to load. -- Can't calculate the upgrade with unofficial mesa/compiz packages https://launchpad.net/bugs/58424 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
