[ale] Ubuntu 8.04 and reconfigure X

[danverde]

I also had the upgrade tool lock up on me.  I was upgrading kubuntu 7.10 to 
8.04.  It locked up at the %99 percent mark so I figured it was mostly done 
anyway.  I killed the upgrader and exited X.  At the command line I tried to 
finish the upgrade manually with apt-get -f install and then followed that 
with apt-get upgrade to finish any packages that weren't installed by the 
upgrade tool.  This did appear finish the upgrade for me.  After rebooting 
everything seems to be working.  

I always keep a backup copy of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file handy so that I 
don't have to mess with upgrade tools wiping it out.  Not any chance you have 
one that you can refer to so that you can fix it manully?
