Looks like the problem was not with xorg.conf, but with xserver-xorg-core. Downgrading to the previous version provided a temporary fix. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/137604 This is a temporary workaround, but now aptitude wants to upgrade it. I am a bit confused as to how to run the daily updates while excluding this one. I know that there is a command (I don't remember it now) that tells apt to leave it alone, but that seems it would prevent upgrading to the eventual fix. Any suggestions other than saying no to aptitude upgrade and the doing individual installs of every other upgraded package? Attachment:
