One too many mornings

Mostly worked fine, but X was broken on reboot,

Reading /var/log/Xorg.0.log revealed the drivers were using X.org ABI 0.8 rather than 1.0

Turns out that the xorg drivers are not updated because their name changed.

This is easily solved by running

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-all

Also vncviewer complained about a font problem this is caused by the helvetica fonts being hard coded into vncviewer. Run this to stop it complaining

echo “*popup*font: fixed” | xrdb -merge

This problem is shared with debian
