The latest mandatory update appears to have killed my server.
No, it didn't - at least not if you mean it killed your whole system.
What you /probably/ mean is that you updated either the kernel, or some part of the X system, and now it won't run the X server.
You're probably correct. The update was automatic and labeled as mandatory. I don't know what was updated. I don't even know how to find that out.
First, it would help if you told us what you upgraded.
See previous comment.
Second, it would help if you told us what kind of video card you have. Is it single or dual head (one monitor or two)?
The video card is an Nvidia Geforce 2. (Pretty old) Single monitor.
The output of lspci would be helpful.
I can't figure out how to get the output of lspci on this machine so I can send it to you. My local network is still in place. My problem is I can't get the output of ed (what happened to pico?) into a file that I can manipulate. I though >ed stuff would do it but apparently not.
Have you considered reconfiguring your X server with "sax2" ? Make a backup of your current xorg.conf first: cp -a /etc/X11/xorg.conf /tmp/
I tried that with another problem some time ago. After about six hours, I restored xorg.config. I'll have a look though. Is there anything special I should be looking for?
Thanks,
