Apt-get :: testing upgrade

hey all,

dsl 5.3.1 hdd install - bewdiful

upgraded to testing. no errors and seems to work ok, except now xfbdev does not start.

does anyone else have testing dsl, or is it not designed to be upgraded via apt? how can I reconfig, upgrade, or even start xfbdev or xvesa?

hints appreciated. thanks, darbi
