[same hardware still] No, on 1:6.12.3-1 (slightly older testing package) at least, it does not happen any more both with my usual xorg.conf and when renaming the file. It started to work relatively soon thereafter I believe (even though I didn't realize the exact event since I simply left it un-upgraded for a while). BUT, I have bad news now: Just did an upgrade to 1:6.12.5-1 testing (causing a large bunch of other xorg stuff to get updated), and directly after having started 1:6.12.3-1, the screen is now quite a LOT darker than before (in a weird twilight way, no contrast, no brightness, nothing). Reverting to 6.12.4-2 (the only one readily available) did not help either. And I DON'T think it's a (very) sudden monitor issue (the OSD still shows with original colors) Obviously I'm not too happy about this state of affairs ;) Any ideas? What should I test?
