Hi there,

Here's my pastebin:

http://pastebin.org/87336

I was hoping to not have any issues after upgrading to Squeeze, but that's
not the case.  The upgrade went fine after I figured out how to work around
the broken packages issue.  I now have 3 kernels - 2.6.26-2-686,
2.6.30-2-686 and 2.6.32-trunk-686.

When I initially booted to the 2.6.32 kernel - the xorg.conf.orig was the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.  With this one, the 2.6.32 kernel would boot, but when
GDM was supposed to put the login screen, it was instead a blank black
screen with a bit of backlighting.  In the 2.6.30 kernel, GDM started and
then the screen went totally black - like the computer was turned off.  The
2.6.26 kernel worked fine.  The only thing I had to do was put a link in my
startup files to start metacity because the window dressings were gone.
It's worked fine ever since.

The xorg.conf.config was created by doing 'Xorg -configure' as root.  When I
used it, none of the kernels worked right.

When I renamed both files to what they are in the pastebin and had no
xorg.conf file, the same thing happened when the xorg.conf.orig was the
xorg.conf file.

I haven't needed to work with X nor GDM for quite a while because the
distros I've used has been pretty much plug & play.  I know there's a way to
fix this, but my computer specialty doesn't cover this area.  Any help or
questions would be promptly answered and greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Scott
