Re: X broken after today's woody update

Did the upgrade work OK? Did you get any errors while 
xserver-xfree86 was configured? A partially configured
XFree86 could be troublesome, I guess. 
Try 'dpkg --configure xserver-xfree86'. If you get an
error message, try 
'ln -s /usr/bin/X11/XFree86 /etc/X11/X'. The postinstall
script of xfree86 expects this link to be there and bombs
out if it isn't. After making the link, try
'dpkg --configure --pending'.
Did the trick for me. 

HTH,
