My desktop upgraded quite easyly, with some mkfontdirs and so on.

But on my laptop despite several hours on it I don't have xorg... All 
tricks seen here are uneffective, and as I'm not an expert, I would 
appreciate more 'organized help'... It is a laptop I use at work I can't 
spend hours to repair it, I went back to Windows.

More, I think that many 2006.0 people will try another distro with Xorg 
7 +/- Xgl already installed if the upgrade is not completely automatic 
and without having to play with esoteric console command at init 3 stage...
