The description I gave, "inverted video", lacks precision: * the background is still black (not white) * the characters in colour may not be as bright as if they were truly displayed in inverted video
I tested the version in experimental (probably 1:6.8.1~git20080310.38606b08-1) saturday and it had the same problems. As for the versions in snapshot.debian.net I have not managed to get them installed. I do not know how to downgrade. All I could think of was /etc/apt/preferences but how to pin snapshot.debian.net? And how to downgrade a package to a specific version with its dependencies automatically? Could you explain quickly what methods are available to downgrade the x server packages to a specific version of snapshot.debian.net, or otherwise to test a specific version? I noticed that the email I sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] only had also appeared in the bug log. Is it magic? I am sending to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] at once this time. Is that right?
