kernel - Xubuntu 12.10 won't boot into desktop on XPS L502x

My Xubuntu 12.10 won't boot into desktop on XPS L502x after today's update and reboot (newer version of linux kernel included).



When I installed Xubuntu 12.10 on this XPS L502x, I got the same problem -- the login screen won't show, but I can Ctrl+Alt+F1 to login to the console. Afterwards, I installed bumblebee, which solved the problem.



However, now the problem comes back again. Although I can still login to a console and type startx to get a desktop environment, there are some desktop customizations and settings missing in this environment. I tried to start with the former version of Linux kernel but it didn't help.



Anyone else who has ever met this problem?




Additional info:



Every time I start the desktop environment using startx, I will get a crash report from the notification area, saying that xorg has crashed.
