Comment 4 for bug 1653160

I Can confirm the bug. I did a fresh installation, eveything worked well. I updated the system (kernel included) and I got the black screen with the pointer.

I do have the option to autologin. If I open a tty (F1) and type startx sometimes works, sometimes not. I can kill Xorg from another tty and trying to launch with startx since eventually works. (ussually no more than 3 trys).

I installed the mate metapackage and now i´m autologin to mate without problems.

Xorg log seemed without errors.

Laptop is a Acer Aspire intel i3 with intel's integrated card.
