Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.2.1-11 Severity: minor
If choosing the newport driver, the default modes selected are not supported by the driver. (According to /usr/share/doc/xserver-xfree86/README.newport and the error message I get otherwise). I guess something like if [ "$RET" = "newport" ]; then DEFAULT_DEPTH=8 DEFAULT_MODES="1280x1024" at the correct place in xserver-xfree86.config will improve the situation a lot. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: mips Kernel: Linux d03 2.4.19-r5k-ip22 #1 Wed Apr 9 13:23:23 CEST 2003 mips Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages xserver-xfree86 depends on: ii debconf 1.3.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii xserver-common 4.2.1-11 files and utilities common to all ii zlib1g 1:1.1.4-14 compression library - runtime -- debconf information [shortened to working values]: * xserver-xfree86/config/device/identifier: Generic Video Card * xserver-xfree86/config/device/driver: newport * xserver-xfree86/config/display/default_depth: 8 * xserver-xfree86/config/display/modes: 1280x1024
