So, I´m running out of clues as to what to do. I´m curious if any of you running F17 with the testing repos experienced any hiccup wrt X not starting up?.If not, I´d really appreciate clues wrt how to get my system back to a working state.
I looked at the Xorg log files and the last thing it loaded before the hang were the vbox drivers.
I remember the last thing I had installed before the reboot was the vbox ose plugins.
So I went to the xorg libs dir and removed vbox*.
I guess I was wrong to remove the files without removing the references to them, as now the system boots to a point where the monitors put themselves in power-saving mode (blinking power led) and I can´t even do ctrl-alt-f2 to get to a login prompt.
So, I´d really appreciate if someone more knowledgeable about Xorg snafus would give me a generic recipe to get my system back to at least vesa mode.
I guess booting from grub 2.0 in single user mode would be first right?
