Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.1.0-19 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
I use a two-head setup, and it was very difficult to get Xorg configured. Sometimes an update will make it unusable, so I always back up xorg.conf before each update (this helps). If I have to restart Xorg or XDM, Xorg sometimes shuts down after a while, so I have to shutdown the system and reset it so the video card gets reset. Sometimes unrelated programs like GKRELLM or X Screensaver make Xorg take 90% of the CPU time. This usually happens every 30 minutes, so I have created a script which will kill and restart GKRELLM in such a case. This usually helps. At other times Xorg will take all available CPU time and still just show a blank screen so that the system has to be rebooted. I often get the feeling that the communication with the video card is less than optimal although it is not a newly-released card. Programs like XAWTV complain about missing accelerations although the card has them. Xine and M Player sometimes just show a black window; VLC runs but with high CPU usage and not smoothly, although my video card should actually not require that much CPU use. The automatic start of X Screensaver interrupts everything including communication with the IDE DVD writer so that the writing process fails and the DVD cannot be used. This happens with simple blanking of the screen as well as with regular screensaver plug-ins. I have tried all configuration variations, not only with Xorg but with X Screensaver, VLC and all CD/DVD burning software; nothing seems to help. The video card seems alright, there is enough RAM, I have optimised IDE access... -- Package-specific info: Contents of /var/lib/x11/X.roster: xserver-xorg /etc/X11/X target unchanged from checksum in /var/lib/x11/X.md5sum.
