[wirechief <silvermachineman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Using ssh to get into this sick box i was able to issue X -config and  suddently the screen on the sick machine gave me a terminal log in screen, I was told that a new xorg.conf.new file was in my /home/wirechief , after fumbleing around i finally got the screen reset and am now able to login to the desktop.
All i can say is this new process of creating a new xorg.conf is very confusing and someone needs to do a decent writeup on how a user should respond to this blank screen business, while it was blank i noticed that caps lock would not light up when toggled.
I think the reason i had so much trouble was that yesterday i compiled the radeon driver for my ati card and this new update brought
a new kernel, this of course mucked up my xserver as the radeon was not compiled with it.
