 Dear Maintainer,
 
 This package (version 3.13~rc6-1~exp1) is exhibiting some symptoms that
 lead me to believe it's buggy, namely:
 
 1: My display manager (GDM) fails to start when the system finishes booting.
 2: The Intel graphics driver does not appear to be loaded/used (possibly the
 reason for #1). Instead, the driver Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.3, 128
 bits) is used.
 3: For some reason, the brightness controls end up reversed (trying to lower
 the brightness raises it, and vice-versa), causing my display to be turned
 off rather than turned up to full brightness when the system finishes
 booting (possibly also related to #2).

Did you try reproducing this with Linux 3.14?

For your #3, you should try passing i915.invert_brightness=1 to the kernel
when booting (press E in Grub and add this at the end of the linux line),
it should solve the problem. I've read somewhere that if your machine requires
this you should report it, but I don't remember where so.

Hope this helps,
  Matteo

2014-05-08 Thread Alex Vanderpol
I have not experienced either of these issues with the 3.14 kernel 
image. Brightness controls work as they should and the display manager 
loads just fine.


Thank you for your reply though.

 I had been running the 3.14-trunk from experimental for a while before 
 the 3.14 image in sid was available, neither version had any issues.

OK, if you don't know which one exactly, let's leave it that way.

Dear Maintainer,

This package (version 3.13~rc6-1~exp1) is exhibiting some symptoms that lead me
to believe it's buggy, namely:

2: The Intel graphics driver does not appear to be loaded/used (possibly the

(possibly also related to #2).

If you could please look into these matters, I would be ever so grateful. For
the time being, I shall continue to run the 3.12 kernel, which does not
experience these issues.
