This is not Debian vs. XFree86, this is EVERYONE vs. XFree86. And
it's not Debian talking about forking, it's everyone. If you still
don't think there's a real problem, I'm sorry.

Dual-licensing would defeat th

what most people do with software that's not supported by Debian. I'm
not sure why anyone in Debian should go out of their way to support
software that is explicitly no longer supported by Debian.

am somewhat tight on disk space at
present, and freeing enough would be non-trivial, so I wanted to ask
for help first, in case this is a known problem, or, at least, simple
for someone else to find.
Please CC me, as I am not subscribed to debian-x (although, worst
case, I do know how to find t
pendency on libxt-dev. But I'd like to confirm this
reasoning. If I'm right, this may affect a lot of packages...
Still not subscribed to debian-x, please CC further replies.

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.1.0-1

I'm using an MGA G400, and with the new update to xorg 7.1, my screen
suddenly stopped working. I can switch to the console at vt1, and the
screen comes back. And X appears to be running fine (all the processes
look ok, and I can hear

definitely looks like a nasty bug somewhere in X7.1. Probably in
xserver-xorg-video-mga, possibly in xserver-xorg-core.

don't hestitate to ask. I'm more than willing to re-break my system
to help debug.
