apt-get dist-upgraded Compaq Presario B1900 from hardy -> intrepid -> jaunty
when X starts, get a mess on screen, system unresponsive to Ctrl-Alt-F1 etc.,
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and Ctrl-Alt-Delete. No cursor displayed.
I can login remotely using SSH and the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file looks relatively innocuous, other than this:
(II) Cannot locate a core pointer device.
(II) Cannot locate a core keyboard device.
(II) The server relies on HAL to provide the list of input devices.
If no devices become available, reconfigure HAL or disable AllowEmptyInput.
which appears near the top. lshal -s doesn't reveal anything terribly exciting (to me...)
Where should I go next to diagnose? |

the same message appears on my (working) Acer Aspire One running jaunty as well...
