Recovery mode. What's missing

What does /var/log/Xorg.0.log tell you ?

Are you using /etc/X11/xorg.conf for control, or relying
on Xorg to automatically configure the setup ?

Are you using nv, nouveau, or vesa ? I haven't a clue
as to what that means, but it is evidence you have been
fooling around with your graphics subsystem :-)

Maybe not.
I have so far a "small issue": kernel (2.6.37-020637rc2... do not
bother, it's experimental so far) complains at startup about missing
v86d (it's a 64 bit system). But if I install it, the x system just does
not start (or whatever, screens remains blank).

Simply removing that package (v86d) solved that issue.
