Being puzzled, I removed the xorg.conf file to give Xorg defaults a try, and that way, it restarts properly. At this point, mouse, keyboard and modes are not ok yet, but I have (from Xorg.0.log) a good starting point. However, I don't know what does the dpkg-reconfigure message above mean, and I don't know why it haven't generated a new xorg.conf JoaoYou write the choices you made while running 'dpk-reconfigure xorg' by doing:dexconf -o /etc/X11/xorg.conf Of course, you may want to back up the existing file first.
dexconf did it. Now everything is ok. A diff between the old and the new xorg.conf showed only: 36a37 > Load "i2c" 38d38 < Load "dbe" 64a65 > Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" 68,71c69,70 < Identifier "Intel i810" < Driver "i810" < BusID "PCI:0:2:0" < Option "UseFBDev" "true" --- > Identifier "Generic Video Card" > Driver "vesa" 83c82 < Device "Intel i810" --- > Device "Generic Video Card" I tried reversing each one of those differences, hitting ctrl-alt-backspace each time to identify which solved the problem, and could not find which one did it - I guess xorg doesn't re-read /etc/X11/xorg.conf at a ctrl-alt-backspace. If someone find it wold be interesting, I can do further testing. Thank you everyone for your time and assistance. Joao
