Could you try to remove (or rename) /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart Xorg? What logs does it give?
I removed xorg.conf and rebooted the machine. Attached is the logfile from that.

I installed the update, removed xorg.conf and rebooted. The display didn't work. It's impossible to describe in words what the display did, it went all funny colours and seem to keep on reinitialising. I will attach the Xorg.0.log from that
