apt-get upgrade > Xorg 7 Installed > X won't start
Hi. I'm running Debian Etch. Last night, I did an apt-get upgrade, which installed a new version of Xorg (7). After I rebooted (I did that later, not because of the upgrade), X refused to start. I tried reinstalling the nVIDIA driver (using the official installer as I always do), but that didn't help. I joined #debian on freenode and there was another guy there at the same time with the same problem, so I'm guessing I'm far from the only one who's had this happen to him/her.
Can anyone give me a hand please?
Thanks in advance for any help you may get.
The log file is huge. I ran startx instead, and here's the bottom of its output:

(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.
