Hi Brice, I'm frustrated with upgrades and Debian.

I upgraded to Debian Etch. `apt-get dist-upgrade` > Did you configure some keyboard stuff in gnome earlier? Are you running > a plain Etch or do you have anything older or more recent? Your X > packages seem to be from Etch. What about gnome? Can you upgrade the X > packages to testing or unstable? I'm running a plain Etch gnome and X. I *can* upgrade the X packages to testing or unstable, but I *don't want to*, given the current track record. e.g. the fact that upgrading will bring down a ton of other ***unnecessary**** dependencies that could have been avoided if the testing packages had been compiled against the minimum dependencies (http://www.mkgnu.net/?q=node/103) of the software. Not to mention that for the past 4 years after I start X if I switch back to a text console the text looks jagged, permanently (but not if the system is just booting). At this point I want things to work as expected. It was working with Debian 3.0. It should work now. > > Section "InputDevice" > > Identifier "Generic Keyboard" > > Driver "kbd" > > Option "CoreKeyboard" > > Option "XkbRules" "xorg" > > Option "XkbModel" "pc104" > > Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak" > > Option "XkbVariant" "dvorak" > > EndSection > > > > Does it help if you comment XkbLayout and XkbVariant out? I just tried this but it does not help. I still get the same error message. > (unrelated) Remove GLcore from the module sections of your xorg.conf, it > will loaded automatically when needed.

(unrelated) I just removed it. Of course, *I* never added those modules there. The X tools did. If they are not loading, why don't the X tools resolve this ? > > (II) I810(0): [drm] DRM interface version 1.2 > > (II) I810(0): [drm] created "i915" driver at busid "pci:0000:00:02.0" > > (II) I810(0): [drm] added 8192 byte SAREA at 0xf04dd000 > > (II) I810(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0xf04dd000 to 0xb7b59000 > > (II) I810(0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0xf0020000 > > (II) I810(0): [drm] added 1 reserved context for kernel > > (WW) I810(0): i830 Kernel module detected, Use the i915 Kernel module > > instead, aborting DRI init. > > > > (unrelated) Are look loading the i830 kernel module explicitly in > /etc/modules or so?
