Well, just a couple of guesses below: I had problems getting x to run after upgrading. Issues with the xfree86 to xorg transition. Try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. This may give a clue as to what's needed. When I ran this, I got some errors saying the ati driver was missing (my video card is an ati card); so, I installed the xserver-xorg-video-ati package, and rebooted, and it worked. Or, for all the drivers, install xserver-xorg-video-all. Or, the transition from hotplug to udev causes some problems, sometimes. Try dpkg-reconfigure udev (note, I'm saying this assuming that you can get to a command line, and log in as root....if you can't, well, perhaps someone with a bigger brain than I can assist you.) My machine, in making this transition, gave two choices, one of which was to install yaird, and the other, was to install something that did not work (initrd springs to mind, but I'm not sure). See if yaird is installed, and if not, perhaps try installing this (I am just guessing here; so, take what I say with caution). Good luck.
