Yesterday I upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy using the uprgrade manager. I backed up my xorg.conf file beforehand, and lo and behold, after upgrade my monitor was a mess, so I used my old xorg and everything seems ok. Except there's one issue.
After a reboot or power-up, if I log directly into gnome, I get a hard-freeze with no mouse, either before the desktop appears or less than a minute after. However, if I log into gnome failsafe, everything works perfectly.Then, from there, I can log out, and back into gnome regular, and it still works just fine. Sound, video, network, everything works. It's only the first login after a shutdown/reboot that needs to be failsafe or the machine locks up immediately after login.
I know it's a strange and esoteric problem, but does anyone have a clue what this might be? I've already tried replacing/renaming/deleting my .gnome, .gnome2/sessions, and .gconf files. This fixes the problem for one login, but then again after a reboot it hangs. My sound and video both work fine after the workaround, so I dont think it could be those drivers, which are usually the culprit.
