Go to tty1
attempt startx
Find out what file in the /tmp directory needs to be deleted.
run xrandr without arguments
------------
wolf@telcontar:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
LVDS1 connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm
1280x800 60.0*+
1024x768 85.0 75.0 70.1 60.0
832x624 74.6
800x600 85.1 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 85.0 72.8 75.0 59.9
720x400 85.0
640x400 85.1
640x350 85.1
--------------------------
then run xrandr -r 1024x768 // the resolution is just an example from my xrandr list.
You may have just gotten a poor set-up from the upgrade. If you look at all the options available
in xrandr, it is simple to see how many ways it could have gone wrong.
Once you have set the resolution, run startx and see how it looks.
