I only ever had a problem one time when I ran SUSE, one update wouldn't work ( 
NVIDIA newer driver) but I updated my SUSE kernel every time and had X up and 
running in 10 minutes. I must be doing it the wrong way, because I've had 
nothing but problems getting Debian's X to work after a kernel update. I 
know... RTFM.. I bookmarked that WIKI page for future use, but I think ENVY 
has solved my problems, it took all of 2 minutes and a reboot and everything 
worked fine.
