    X don't start after apt-get dist-upgrade (Knoppix 4.0.2)

    Hi all!

    I have remastered new Knoppix 4.0.2 successfully and could even update every package by apt-get upgrade. I'm quite a satisfied with this but I would like to do a full upgrading fromKDE 3.4.1 to 3.4.2 by apt-get dist-upgrade.

    Now booting from CD gives a message:No suitable X-Server found for your card. Same in tree different machines with totally different cards.

    Have others had same problems and knows (perhaps) what is causing this? Is some package broken so badly that X don't start? Here's a listing of files what dist-upgrade has removed, updated and what new packages are installed. I hope that someone finds some critical package from the list.

    Code:

    I'm wondering this very much because I have previosly upgraded to KDE 3.4.2 from Knoppix 3.8.1. The reason for new remastering is many goodies included in new Knoppix 4.0.2

    If someone would like to test my previous version (starts in finnish language), you are welcome :
    ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/Linux/images/...2005-09-07.iso. Start it in english by:
    Code:
    boot: linux lang=us keyboard=us

    Forget to say that mkxf86config recognizes card right. The error message as chrooted is: XIO: fatal IO error 104 on X Server.

    I could start X by installing X.org but now the configuration file is xorg.conf. I thought to make xorg.conf as a symlink to XF86Config-4 but it doesn't seem to work. How should this be done?

    Anyhow, I prefer to use xfree86 (as in original Knoppix 4.0.2) but don't undestand how to get X get started after 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. Any ideas?

    The problematic file seems to be x11-common (new file). If I upgrade packaged one by one, everything works if x11-common is not installed. So the dist-upgrade seems to be impossible this time.
