worked well before this update

New error messages:

        (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so
(EE) Failed to load module "GLcore" (loader failed, 7)
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(EE) No devices detected.

So I guess I should disable loading of these but clearly
they worked before the update.....

I have included a full copy of Xorg.0.log

[Aliosha (spam-wiasmitinow)]

On the same update I have troubles, because the scanpci of xorg does not find my nvidia agp card anymore.

It reports
"PCI: 0 domains"
at the pciscan and later it says
"no device found"
at the end

(no wonder, no pci means no cards...)

So my X stays dark, and even changing the driver to nv, or vesa doesn't help.

I had to downgrade to get my system running again... (luckily the older version ist still on the mirrors...)

see Xorg.0.log of Walter for details... (it shows the same strange messages than mine did.)

It is interesting to note that this does not depend on which
graphics card used. I also saw the same error with

getting rid of the GLcore module did not help nor did the
additional dri module (using intel internal graphics card)
