    [SOMEWHAT SOLVED] Gibbon upgrade woes continue - X won't start

    After figuring out that I needed to use "adept_manager --version-upgrade" to get the correct version, and having the apept_manager dies somewhere in the middle, and using "apt-get upgrade" to finish installing the 382 out of 818 that need to be installed, I find that I can't get X to start. startkde and startx both die giving me a stack trace which has this:

    Backtrace:
    0: Xorg(xf86SigHandler+0x81) [0x80c9581]
    1: [0Xffffe420]
    2: Xorg(AddScreen+0x1ee) [0x807653e]
    3: Xorg(InitOutput+0x12e) [0x80a86ce]
    4: Xorg(main+0x27b) [0x8076ceb]
    5: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe0) [0xb7dbf050]
    6: Xorg(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x1e1) [0x8076241]

    Fatal Server error:
    Caught signal 11. Server aborting.

    The xorg.conf file looks pretty generic. Nothing fancy. Uses VBoxVideo, whatever that is.

    If anyone has any ideas, please let me know...

    Thanks

    Here's what I did to get X running:

    Edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf and changed the driver from
    vboxvideo to vesa.
Working...
