[Bug 464591] Re: upgrade breaks graphic drivers and x, preventing login or startx
I had this same problem. Using Nvidia 8800gts, previously working
perfectly in 9.04.
After upgrade X was broken, booted to CLI with flickering. Once logged
in, startx said no screens and xinit no such file or folder.
After editing xorg.conf using nano to make X use vesa driver instead, I
managed to boot to a desktop.
However The first time I did this I got four popup warning messages on
the desktop saying critical kernel failure.
In the end I had to do a fresh install.
