I did not have an xorg.conf in /etx/X11/ directory, then I had one because it was needed to to be able to surf the net and send emails.  Today after applying the updates, X does not work.  I switched to vesa to be able to get X working to send this message.  Here's what I got when I typed startx when it was not working :(

I removed xorg.conf from /etc/X11/ directory.  Then I tried startx getting the errors on top.  I then ran system-config-display to generate an xorg.conf file, but it failed saying that no X servers found.  I also tried Xorg -configure and it did not generate /root/xorg.conf.new file either.  So I booted a livecd and copied the Xorg.conf file from there and changed to vesa driver from intel.

Thanks,

Antonio
