Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2
I have a G400 that was working fine in the most previous
release (sarge1?) of xfree86 group of packages in Debian 3.1 stable.
On the first reboot following the upgrade to 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2
of the series of related xfree86 packages, X refuses to
run, with errors like so:
XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1 (Debian 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2 20061002194300

...and a few more lines like these before "Fatal server error".
Everything was fine with the same XF86Config file
previously. If I switch to vesa, X starts OK.
However I need dual monitors so mga is a must.
It appears that Debian's Xfree86 sources are unique,
so compiling a solution as per http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building
doesn't seem to be an option within Debian stable.
I tried downgrading to sarge1, but it has not helped:
for pack in `COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l | grep x | grep 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2 | awk
'{print $2}'`; do apt-get -y install --reinstall $pack=4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1;
done
Any more information needed, please ask me...
