Bug#420720: xserver-xorg-video-mga: X does not start
Package: xserver-xorg-video-mga Version: 1:1.4.6.1.dfsg.1-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable With the last version of xserver X does not start anymore. Either with my own xorg.conf file which worked or after I used dpkg-reconfigure to write a new one. The last error message is: (EE) MGA(0): FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO succeeded but modified mode Kind regards, Wilfred de Bondt -- 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.

No, turning it off was the trick to make it work, Thanks! I still don't understand why it would work one day, and not the next, but as far as I'm concerned this bug can be closed. Thanks for the quick response. Kind regards, Wilfred de Bondt
