How you cured that ?

I couldn't. The first time it happened, I did try to fix it, spending an
hour or so at it. No matter what I reinstalled, I wasn't able to get "X"
to start correctly. I finally just reinstalled from DVD and have had to
do that every time this foolishness has happened, which is 3 times now
over the past couple of months. MOST often, the system has a nVidia
video chipset so I think there's a connection there. I've read all of
the logs without finding any clue as to what foul play has occurred. To
say I've been unhappy about it, is being as kind as I can possibly be.
;) I'd use the GNU driver except it's so bad that I can't tolerate using it.
