I think this is a xorg related problem, at this point the computer does boot normally, exacept at the GDM screen the monitor turns itself off.
it is still possible to do "CTRL+ALT+F1" to access terminal, there I can at least try to update (successfuly so) where the message above keeps being printed. I tried using the recovery boot to do a xfix or fix any broken packages, but that doesn't help. Something was displayed when I tried to copy the xorg.conf of my hardy partition and substituted it into the intrepid one. The X cursor appeared and a dialogue saying that it could not load drivers came up.It asks if I wanted to fix it which I am given the options to reconfigure or to edit the xorg.conf file. None of the options seem to make any difference. Upon restart the same old problem resumes.
