X4.0 -> X4.1 -> bother

[David Purton <dcpurton@chariot.net.au>]

Hurrah - woody upgraded to X4.1 and now it's broken :(

but in and odd way:

When I run startx it appears to run as normal except the screen is
completely scrambled and unreadable.  Then if I either kill the X server
(ctl+alt+bksp) or switch virtual consoles, the screen remains in the
same scambled state.

Everything still goes - but I just can't see what I'm typing - as far as
I can gather the only X related question I was asked during the upgrade
was a keyboard type - and this doesn't seem to be the problem.

any thoughts?

made our English hymns famous.  The average Englishman
will happily sing any words to a good tune.
