Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.2.1-1 Severity: important Tags: sid After upgrading to 4.2.1 and typing startx, it would fail and give me an error that the screen color depth is incorrect (24) after setting to 16 it works, however everything becomes a green tint. This is able to be fixed by removing the fbdev setings (and recompiling the kernel to not use fbdev).
