[SOLVED] Slackware current, March 29 update, x won't start

Slackware current, multilib, everything updated as of the March 29 update, full install. Nvidia 1050ti, 440.64 drivers. XFCE. (Can't start kde, either.)

I updated, restarted X, and X crashes with screens not found (log attached)

I rebooted, and my console fonts are fuzzy, same error with X. (Reinstalled video card drivers, as well.) xorg.conf uploaded, too.

Did something change that I missed?

So I was explaining the problem to my partner, and he said, "Did you reset the cable from the card to the monitor?" Me: "Of course not. What good would that do? It was working fine earlier." And, lo and behold, I reset the cable, and X works fine. May the rest of your problems be resolved as easily.
