Problems after dist-upgrade

[Steve Ovens]

I tried purging  Xorg Edgers, that just left me with a blank screen(s). In
the end I was unable to rescue the system at that point. I am running on
very new hardware, on a fresh install if I ran on the nouveau drivers I
could get 2 of 3 screens to turn on. Didnt seem to matter which Nvidia
driver I tried (304, 331 from the official repo and 340 from Nvidia.com)
without the xorg edgers stuff installed I couldnt get my other monitor to
turn on.

I ended up nuking and paving the install. I suspect you are right Tim,
something with upgrading the kernel while running Xorg Edgers broke
something horribly.

End result: Reinstall, re-add xorg edgers, install nvidia-343 and I am now
up and running
