Bug description:
  After installing the hardware enablement stack on precise by running:
  sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-lts-quantal 

  Xorg fail to start. There is no error message or anything, just a black screen. Switching to a vt i possible and lightdm/x-0.log shows that a symlink is missing:
  X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X (No such file or directory), aborting.

  I updates two computers running precise x86_64 and both had the
  problem.

  Just recreating the symlink fixes the problem and then precise runs
  perfectly fine with the new stack (in fact, it's more stable so far).
