Nothing wrong here. The 2.4.0 driver from experimental has been built
for the Xserver 1.4.99 from experimental, which cannot work with drivers
from unstable. So either you upgrade most X packages to experimental
(they work very well here, by the way), or you just stick everything
with from unstable.
Is the X from experimental packaged in fewer packages? Or is there so much
missing? My apt is removing far more packages than it is installing or
updating. See above.
You mean that this bug won't be fixed in Lenny? A bug that causes
instability, loss of work and requires daily reboots because X dies? I'd
say that this bug be marked RC.
Switching to XAA is supposed to work around the problem.
It does not. See my xorg.conf files above. I'm already using XAA because EXA
was too slow for my taste.
We have very few testers of 2.4.0 so far, and there's a least one big
known bug (fixed soon fortunately). We can't just put 2.4.0 in Lenny so
late, it may be too risky. 2.3.2 works fine except in some cases with
EXA, and we have a workaround for these.
It's not just an EXA case. See above. The bugreport on
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16169 has a git commit ID
attached. Perhaps the bugfix can be backported to 2.3.2? IMHO you can't ship
Lenny with this bug in it. It causes dataloss and requires a reboot multiple
times a day. There are much less serious bugs that have been marked Release
Critical.
