I upgraded to 9.04 as well, and it scared the hell out of me. The "known
problems" talk about some intel video cards, but I did not think it
would lock up the system that hard. AND in the middle of an upgrade!
Nothing reacted: no terminal keys, no CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE, nothing. Only
the "off" switch.

I finally got things working though by disabling all acceleration in
xorg.conf. But no action game runs any longer. Unreal Tournament is
barely playable (but the fastest of them all, even though it's a Windows
game), and other games (OpenArena, Briquolo) have turned to just watch-
and-die games.

Again, it was a very instructive experience. But not one for newbies or
the faint of heart. I would almost suggest "fixing" xorg.conf
temporarily during an upgrade by disabling hardware acceleration. And
fixing it back only after the upgrade has finished. I have no idea if
this is possible though.
