No input recognized in X for Intrepid Beta
I have a WinBook GL35 Laptop(Which means Intel Centrino CPU, nVidia Graphics, and Intel Chipset) which i've been happily running Hardy on for quite some time in a dual-boot environment, with Ubuntu being the default of course.
Upon the beta release, I ran update-manager -d to get the distro upgrade, but it appeared to not complete all the way. The upgrade hung at the "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place..." terminal dialogue. After several hours of waiting on it (overnight, actually) I simply shut it down since I needed to take the thing to work. Once every other day, it would remind me that I needed to complete a partial upgrade, which i did. BUT - After the partial upgrade that took place I think on Wednesday(or so) when I rebooted, When X booted into the login screen, the keyboard, external mouse, and Touchpad were all unresponsive. However, Ctrl+Alt+F2 worked, so I tried to search for an update from there. It let me know that there was an xinput upgrade and three others(I forget which), so I grabbed them and instructed apt-get to install them.
After the reboot, there was no aparrent change, except that when I press Ctrl+Alt+F2, it now gives me what looks like the Adventures of ZZT all over again. flashing multicolored ASCII Characters.
Is there any way for me to get this distro upgraded somehow to fix whatever packages are broken? I can't even fathom what packages they would be... I'd hate to have to re-install Ubuntu... :-(
