I just upgraded from v8.04 to v8.10, after rebooting I don't get into graphics mode. How do I boot in graphics mode?

Alberto, you'll be better off if you started your own thread... you can keep better track of it that way.

F4

Huh? F4? What does that do? Sorry for being ignorant but does it even work???

Anyways, my suggestion is this. Opt for a fresh install whenever possible. I'm guessing that X messed up your configuration and that you get all kinds of "hidden" errors. Login in from the command prompt (Alt+F1) and type startx. If that doesn't work, post the errors that it displays.
