Re: 2.6.35-8 kernel won't start X?

 

Please disregard this post.. it appears to *not* be specific to
Lubuntu.  Many of the alpha testers are having problems with 35-7
regardless of their flavor of 'buntu.  Oddly, I had no problems until
35-8, but now 35-7 is acting up as well.  The joys of pre-beta. :-)
