Tnx Tom

I reverted to teh old libdrm, but It didn't help!!!when I start in
graphic mode my system stops at anacron line flashing I think trying
to start graphic server (and it doesn't succeed.
If I issue in text mode a startx I get:

Unable to load/open config file
New driver is "intel"
(==) Using default built-in configuration (30 lines)
dlopen: libdrm.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extension//libdri.so
(EE) Failed to load module "dri" (loader failed, 7)
dlopen:libdrm.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so
Failed to load module "dri" (loader failed, 7)
(EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory
(EE) Screen(s) found but none have a usable configuration

Fatal server error
No screens found
giving up
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3) Server error

Any hint???
