I've tried to reinstall the various tasks but there is always something blocking it. I've also thought of just waiting days...weeks to see if the video drivers show up in Sid. If they do will they be reinstalled ?Been there. What I normally do is cd /var/cache/apt/archives then run dpkg -i to install previous version of all the xorg packages upgraded. Don't forget the xorg libs, e.g. libxcb-image0:i386. Then re-install the video drivers.That would be easy...IF I hadn't cleared out the archives BEFORE I noticed what my stupidity had done. Are the previous packages available anywhere ?? Thanks
