     Modesetting was causing me problems....the image viewer feh was 
segfaulting so I had to
create an xorg.conf file to go back to the old way.
I was going to report a bug on xserver-xorg ( as the docs suggest) but 
report bug on
my machine won't run because of python problems and I haven't found the 
time to
figure out reporting bug via email.
