Installed xorg-edgers PPA [1] and did: aptitude update, aptitude upgrade, reboot
After logging in and starting to pull down menus, I no longer get a freeze, but Xorg crashes and I am left with a black screen with a mouse pointer that I can move about, but I am now able to switch VT (Ctrl-Alt-F2) and log in to a console. At this point, restarting gdm switches it back to X but it is just a black screen with a movable mouse cursor.

Is there a quick way to generate an xorg.conf file with the current settings being used by Xorg ? or do I have to create one from scratch ? (BTW "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" doesn't work)
