But that won't help now, since I've reformatted and gone back to the default potato-based distro. X on THAT works fine. It's
only when I upgraded to testing that it crapped out.

Hilarious :-)
I wonder if that's what it was ... As I said, there were no error messages in the X log ...
Q: when you use gdm, and you see the login screen properly, does that mean that X itself is working fine?
I could try and login via gdm, but it would just bounce me back to the gdm screen. That's when I turned off gdm,
and tried it via startx. If it was no window manager, but X itself was fine, wouldn't the symptoms have been the same?
For next time .... where is the window manager setting for X, in a Debian based distro?
