I recently upgraded a machine from 10.4 to 10.10 and had the same
problem. For me, it was the fact the latest nVidia drivers do not
support the my 8400GS correctly. I can ALT-F1 into a text terminal and
log in, and deleting xorg.conf lets me get a GUI. Best I've been able
to do to get past that is to load the old 173 drivers (available in the
Proprietary Drivers System menu). Not sure if myth will like that
though. Haven't got that far yet.
Jeff.
