Bug#451917: xserver-xorg-video-intel: upgrade from 2:2.1.1-4 to 2:2.2.0-1 breaks X for g33 chipset
Brice, FYI, I just tried the new 2:1.4.1~git20071119-1 version of xserver-xorg-core combined with version 2:2.2.0-1 of xserver-xorg-video-intel just in case that new combination might fix the problem. No change. There is still a complete lockup from X -probeonly. When I downgrade to version 2:2.1.1-4 of xserver-xorg-video-intel X works fine in combination with the new xserver-xorg-core. What's the next step? Is there a debianized latest git version of xserver-xorg-video-intel that I could try for you? Alan __ Alan W.

The Debian testing version of xorg works fine on the graphical chip in my g33 chipset (ASUS P5K-V MB). xorg.conf uses a gtf-generated [EMAIL PROTECTED] modeline. The Debian unstable version of xorg using xserver-xorg-video-intel version 2:2.1.1-4 works fine as well with exactly the same xorg.conf file. If the Debian unstable version of xorg is kept exactly the same except and upgrade of the xserver-xorg-video-intel package to either 2:2.1.99-1 or 2:2.2.0-1, X -probeonly completely locks up (no access to keyboard). So the problem was introduced between 2:2.1.1-4 and 2:2.1.99-1. Can you try adding Option AccelMethod XAA to your Device section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? It's a random idea, but it looks EXA being the default causes some problems... Finally, I suggest you find some temporary means to keep the present unstable version of xorg from being deployed to Debian testing until this bug is fixed. I believe g33 chipset owners using Debian testing (which works right now for me and presumably them) will be severely disappointed if that precaution is not taken. Right. So far, it can't enter testing because Xserver 1.4 can't either anyway. Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It there are any other tests you would like me to do (especially if you have any newer xserver-xorg-video-intel versions you would like me to try), I would be glad to help because a clean sid version means Debian testing will be that much better.

For instance [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead? (use gtf to get the corresponding modeline). Hi Brice: I was also concerned that perhaps my mixed debian testing/unstable system was causing a problem with just updating xserver-xorg-core and xserver-xorg-video-intel (although that simple procedure worked for xserver-xorg-video-intel version 2:2.1.1-4) so I removed those packages (and everything dependent on them such as xorg), then reinstalled the unstable xorg using apt-get -t unstable xorg For that newly installed unstable xorg, X -probeonly completely locks up both for [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] The results for the latter are given below. This is a production system so my top priority is to get X working again, Thus, the next thing I am going to try is removing xorg from unstable and reinstalling the testing version. I only moved to the unstable xorg version in desperation when I could not get modelines to work at all before (see Bug#448983, where the VGA-1 peculiarity for my g33 system was first mentioned.) However, I think I am on top of that modeline problem, and so I may get a working X out of xorg testing. If that doesn't work, then I will attempt to go back to xserver-xorg-video-intel version 2:2.1.1-4).
