ubuntu reboots immediately after entering password at logon following xserver related update (29 Jan).

[DaisyDuck]

Ubuntu 7.10
kernel 2.6.22.9
received an update notification (29th Jan) on start up
update comprised 2 files
1 file was related to xserver or xserver core
after update and reboot
cannot get past login as PC reboots
cannot give more precise details, as requested, as I cannot now use the PC

Managed to sort this out by;
booting to command line via recovery mode via GRUB menu
renaming xorg.conf file
reinstalled Nvidia driver (this auto created a new xorg.conf file)
Added configuration lines from old xorg.conf to new xorg.conf file
Rebooted
PC now starts up OK and allows me to login without rebooting.

I thought that I should publish my fix in the hope that it may shed some light on what the last xserver update did to break my PC

thanks for reporting! but since this bug has been reported during alpha
and not been touched since i dare to ask if it still is a problem. if it
still is, please file it against a specific package so the relevant
people will have a look at it...
