Comment 68 for bug 221119

Well, I had everything working fine (except for compiz) until yesterday's updates. I applied all updates (as I have done with no problem for some months) and my system is now VERY broken. I'm not even sure what brooke it, but when I get to the login screen, as I type the first letter of my username, my system freezes and only powering down works. No F10, no ctrl+alt+F1,F2,Backspace, no keyboard, no mouse. Zip.
I've tried recovery mode xfix, dpkg-reconfigure, using old xorg.conf, vga=792 in Grub.. nothing works.
I have 2 questions:
1. Did anyone else have this problem? and
2. Can anyone tell me what update yesterday may have caused this?

I'm running Intrepid on a Fujitsu Siemens P4 notebook, 1 G RAM with builtin Intel 82845 Graphic card and I was the intel driver in xorg.conf
