Subject: xorg: login by startx broken. System unusable.
Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.3+10
Severity: critical
Justification: renders system unusable
Upon entering startx the system displays the following error:
Fatal server error:
Unrecognized option: /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
The file xserverrc is the unmodified one that is installed by the package. There has been a recent update to compiz (installed yesterday) and I would not be shocked to hear that that is the culprit, but do not know how to check that. I am happy to try to run any suggested work-arounds.
With best wishes,
Adam Bartley
