[Ken Sharp <878235@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

I have JUST ran an update.  Now, once the system has booted I am
presented with nothing but a blank screen.  I cannot change consoles or
do ANYTHING with the machine unless running X in failsafe mode (which I
am doing now).

There were three xserver updates, so I have no idea which one has broken
my system, but one of them has!  (apt history should be attached showing
which were updated)

If I can figure out how to roll back an update I will be able to report
which package, so any help appreciated.
