What the hell is going on with Xorg? I did a dist upgrade again to xserver-xorg 6.9.0 and again I can't get X to start.
Last time this came up I had to downgrade xserver-xorg to 6.8.2 but now I don't have that .deb around any more. Where can I grab the old packages? Seems like the driver that comes with xserver-xorg requires the mga_hal driver. So I install the driver from the Matrox site then I get an "undefined" symbol error for "MGAGetBOARDHANDLESize" Then I see a bug report that says: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=345497 This user was using the proprietary mga_hal driver, which we can't support. Closing this bug, which he's fixed by removing this module. Does that make sense to anyone? Ok, so where is MGAGetBOARDHAANDLESize defined? matrox_driver-x86-4.3.0/xserver/6.8.2$ strings mga_drv.o | grep BOARD MATROXGetBOARDHANDLESize I try ([EMAIL PROTECTED]@) again using both mga_drv and mga_hal from the Matrox driver package. Note that the Matrox package has static drivers and not .so drivers. Then I get a TON of unresolved symbols Required symbol vgaHWGetIndex from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_drv.o is unresolved! Required symbol vgaHWSetMmioFuncs from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_drv.o is unresolved! Required symbol vgaHWGetIOBase from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_drv.o is unresolved! Required symbol vgaHWMapMem from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_drv.o is unresolved!
