Mon Feb 2 16:30:11 UTC 2009

doesn't start any more:
I get this errors:

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
	 at http://wiki.x.org
 for help.
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional
information.

I can start in text mode and system works.

How do I recover and how can I start with Vesa driver??

I will file a bug tonight.
