lol just reflash and install the repo versions are you mad
lot more work involved in reflashing than just finding a fix or even not bothering to install speedpatch
the problem is my device not the repo's, customised it too much to just reflash for 1 program just got to find the fix.

Sorted:
run removal script did removal commands through the thread.
apt-get purge speedpatch # old .deb install

new speedpatch installed and rebooted x2
no errors in xterm
