I installed Upstart again but unfortunately it didn't solve the problem with the black screen and the blink cursor.
The temporary solution is to downgrade Xorg:
sudo dpkg -i xserver-
sudo dpkg -i xserver-
sudo dpkg -i xserver-
I created a package with all debs and Mesa libs for the downgrade last week.

PLEASE help us.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Christian
