Ran up2date today - got openoffice, ruby, nscd, glibc, and gd.

Somehow my X got broken in the process! I rebooted and now can only
log in in the text mode. I updated xorg few days ago too, but that
went well and X was starting fine until today.

I've got Fedora Core 2 on
Dell Inspiron 5150 notebook; 15 inch SXGA+
64MB DDR NVIDIA GeForceTM FX Go5200 AGP 4x Graphics

Please help - what do I do about it?

Tried to run Xorg -configure, unsuccessfully - it aborts and complains
that I don't have a mouse (well I don't, there is a touchpad on it)...
