Hi!
I've installed Kubuntu a week ago on one of my older machines. I installed all the updates and some additional software via the packet manager and everything was working fine untill today. Now the machine goes through the normal boot process and everything loads OK, untill the X server should start. Then, when the login screen should have appeared, the "splash screen" (the logo displayed during boot) just freezes and nothing happens.
After a couple of hours browsing through various forums I figured out where the problem lies: the X server failes to start. When trying to start it up manually with startx, this error comes up:
I haven't installed nor upgraded any software since the last boot, when everything still worked, so I really have no idea, what could have gone wrong.
I've attached my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log files if that helps. And this is all the output I get from startx:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
