I had this happen with recent xorg update from Sid.
Log said that (proprietary) Nvidia driver was no longer compatable with the
new Xorg version. So I ran its installer (version 260) with update which
downloaded and installed version 270 (but did not keep that installer!) and
this works fine.

First, thanks much to the people on the other side of the globe who

about the nvidia blank screen problem. (For the record, I have a

I've found that I have to re-install the binary Nvidia driver often
after updates, when the X system gets updated, due to changes to
simlinks.
If you're using the Nvidia binary driver, try reinstalling it.

Hi,
I have a system with a fixed hardware config over the last two
years that I have kept current with testing through that time.
Yesterday's update/dist-upgrade/reboot results in a blank
