[SOLVED] X refuses to start after installing liberty packages on slackware 15

I even tried to reconfigure X and reinstall X but it failed. It states it can't connect to devices.

What are liberty packages and where did you get them ?
If they are built, how did you get them built ?

Is your system a full genuine (and previously working) slackware ? What kind if true ?

Got my libvirt, qxl and qemu packages related from slackbuilds

Autocorrect changed libvirt to liberty....

you should read the README of everything you install from SlackBuilds.org

the package install a /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/05-qxl.conf file meant to be used only in virtual machine with the qxl driver enabled: remove the package and that file and X should work again.

Thanks, I had to reconfigure X too just for the record.
