As you can see it upgraded xorg...but pulled out all the video drivers!
I've tried to reinstall the various tasks but there is always something
blocking it. I've also thought of just waiting days...weeks to see if
the video drivers show up in Sid. If they do will they be reinstalled ?
Any way to reverse this ? Anything I've tried has been a waste of time.
Thanks for any suggestions.
