Bug +64853 may very well be a duplicate. Before I filed it, I read this bug report and saw the framebuffer workaround, which did not work for me.
I saw a thread in the German Gentoo forum which seems to describe the same problem: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3599547.html?sid=609d2e8a4591382ae3dcd029518338a9 The last comment says that after the mga driver was updated to 1.4.2, the problem was resolved. So I forced xserver-xorg-video-mga-1.4.2 from the Debian unstable repositories onto my Edgy installation, and X11 started without problems. I guess the DRI fix mentioned here http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg/11588/ did it. -- Matrox MGA200 doesn't work after upgrade from Dapper to Edgy https://launchpad.net/bugs/58721 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
