Last Update broke X

Hi,

Since my last update, I can't launch X anymore. It's not really convenient
I read some problems about KDEmod but i'm not using it. I just have the regular version of KDE (from extra/). In the list, of updated packages i spot:
Kernel (2.6.33)
xorg-server (1.7.6)
xf86-video-ati  (6.12.192)
xf86-video-mesa (2.3.0)

(I have an ATI Radeon Mobility X700.)

When i try to run x with startx, i don't see any special errors.

Can anyone help, please ?
Thank you

Re: Last Update broke X

Are there any errors in "/var/log/Xorg.0.log"?

Are there any errors in "/var/log/Xorg.0.log"?

The only error i can find is: "Couldn't find valid PPL dividers"

grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log

is how you look for errors. Post the output here.

I downgrade to previous version of xf86-video-ati
From 6.12.192    to  6.12.4

Now I can launch my X server... But it's a temporary fix. I can't stay with this version forever. It's stranger that I am the only one having troubles...

Re: Last Update broke X

I've got the same problem since the last update.
My card is the Radeon HD3800.

Same here on Radeon Xpress 200M. Downgrade to 6.12.4 fix the problem but glxgears show only ~184.208 FPS :-/
