Be forewarned, or please report back if you can, but in my case on the |
| 43 |
two Intel machines I have (one local, one my 84 year old dad uses) X11 |
| 44 |
stopped displaying anything after this update. As a quick fix I |
| 45 |
removed the xorg.conf file completely to get a desktop back. This was |
| 46 |
a couple of weeks ago. Removing xorg.conf worked on both machines and |
| 47 |
I haven't gone back to figure out what happened and how to best |
| 48 |
address it. |

Good luck, |
