kaberettInsight would be appreciated but mostly I'm writing this down this time so's I have it when I come back to this after the weekend. ;)
Deb Jessie. Attempted to upgrade graphics driver. Get through grub & partway through being given updates on what all is happening, then screen goes blank. Alt+Ctrl+Del reboots; Alt+Ctrl+Fn gives me nothing.
This is true regardless of whether or not I boot in single-user mode, and which of the installed kernels I boot using.
Editing the boot option to include "nomodeset" gets me a bit further along but does not finish booting - gets stuck detecting & redetecting the optical mouse. Alt+Ctrl+Fn does switch me to a different tty session but I just get the sad blinky underscore rather than anything useful. Again, Ctrl+Alt+Del does reboot
