Package: xserver-xfree86 I upgraded xfree86 from sid to version 4.2.1-5 from -4; I'm using an S3 card:
VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86c368 [Trio 3D/2X] (rev 2).
Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=4.Max Lat=255.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xd4000000
[0xd7ffffff].
with the s3virge XFree driver.
On the upgrade, two things happened: first, xfree86 started to ignore
the /dev/gpmdata driver (I ended up manually configuring it to use
/dev/psaux) and, in entering 1024x768, the mode switch would fail; my
monitor would go black and a red light would show up indicating an error
condition. A lot of upgrades happened - it was an apt-get upgrade
to sid, from an earlier sid - but I'm pretty sure it's the X server
that's the problem.
Any suggestions?
