Wow, today's updates really killed me

[Matt Philmon]

I guess I haven't learned my lesson yet with just blindly accepting a ton of updates. Still, it's not a critical system by any means and I suppose that's why we test. 

Anyway, I can't run X at all. In fact, when it comes up and says "I cannot start the X Server.... Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem?" It doesn't even let me hit yes or no before kicking up a login prompt... doesn't even clear the error message screen so the login is coming up on top of the error message. Heh. I have no idea what I broke. Only that a cursory scan of the packages to be installed was quite large and included a lot of X updates and libs. I don't suppose anyone has a suggestion? Anyone else run the updates and gotten pretty much completely borked?
