Bug#345497: xserver-xorg: [mga] unresolved symbol in mga_drv.o crashes xserver, leaving the console unusable

2006-01-02 Thread Sebastian Kuhnert
Hi again,

I downgraded xserver-xorg and xserver-common to 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11. The 
problem is gone, so I can confirm that this bug is not related to 
anything else.

In case someone else is affected: Oliver Haake wrote me an email 
suggesting to delete /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_hal.o, which 
solved the problem for him.

Bye,
Sebastian Kuhnert

Bug#345497: xserver-xorg: [mga] unresolved symbol in mga_drv.o crashes xserver, leaving the console unusable

2005-12-31 Thread Sebastian Kuhnert
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-1
Severity: important

Hi,

the last update of the xorg packages broke my system. When starting X,
the console blinks briefly and is left blank with a non-blinking cursor
to the upper left. Neither ctrl-alt-f1 nor ctrl-alt-backspace nor chvt 1
work. The xorg.log file (included below) ends far too early and the server
indeed seems to crash. The following lines are from kdm's logfile:
