Thanks for the explanation. I'm quite sure I did not fiddled with nvidia-alternative before the system malfunction (I'm quite sure I did not at all ever). I could have done it trying to recover the situation, reconfiguring related packages. So, I cannot explain what rendered my Xorg server unusable. That said, is this to be still considered a bug or it is only a problem local to my installation? In the latter case, excuse me for the noise and feel free to close the bug (or lower the importance: I don't want to block the migration to testing without a valid reason). -- Alessio
