I can confirm post #20 and #21. Havin an intel card and kdm as window manager, the x-server-upgrade breaks *both*, the normal boot + rescue mode for *both* kernels 2.6.31-14 and -15.After boot, the only thing to see is a black screen with two "-" signs top left and right.

The only way to solve the problem is booting from a live disc, running a chrooted environment and switch to gdm. see this (germman) manual: http://www.ubuntu-forum.de/artikel/47993/gdm-update-hat-kdm-geschrottet.html

System: ubuntu 9.10, acer travelmate 8371
