How to recover X display? v.1.1

[Josef Lowder]

Forgot to mention:
For PCLInuxOS, instead of this:
>> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo did not work for me, so searched further and
from a PCLinuxOS source, I learned that as root I needed to do this:

apt-get clean && apt-get autoclean
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
