very easy way to fix this problem.
Goto a console, and as root, check to see if you have an /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
and an /etc/X11/XF86Config.
In my case, I had my original config files under XF86Config but the upgrade
created XF86Config-4 with default info in there. The -4 file gets priority
as the config file when starting X.
I deleted the XF86Config-4 file and ran startx, everything was cool.
Now, if you originally had a XF86Config-4 file, that might have been overwritten
with the new info for X. In that case, re-run the xf86config script as root
and re-configure X.
I'm certain there's got to be a different/better way of doing this however,..
this was just the method which I took :P
Good luck...
