Running LMDE for a while Kernel 3.2 and everything loads up fine.
with recent updates kernel 3.10 and 3.11 have both been added. Somewhere after 3.10 being installed I've messed up xorg or the video drivers.
Kernel 3.10 doesn't load the GUI due to a X configuration issue. (No display/screens detected).
Kernel 3.2 does load into the GUI.
I've attached xorg log file from boot attempt on 3.10 kernel.
Latest update to 3.11 with UP8 seems to have carried forward the problem from 3.10
As the xorg.conf file is fixed I'm guessing the answer lies in the kernel / drivers.
Problem most likely arose when I was "playing about" with nouveau and nvidia legacy drivers or Xrandr.
Any help to diagnose root cause and how to fix would be gratefuly received.
