(please cc me for I'm unsuscribed)
Since I have upgraded my system, it *flickers*.
The boot happens normally (the GRUB file mentions linux 2.6.7-1-386),
the ``come up seems to well happen also. But when I come to the GNOME screen,
this one lasts only for an instant (the _login_ window doesn't display), the
screen passes
(briefly) to black, then it displays the text screen (briefly also), then the
screen repasses
to black, then we restart to the GNOME screen.
This sequence happens 5 times, then a screen displays:
The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last
90 seconds, it is likely that something bad is going on. I will
wait for 2 minutes before trying again on display :0.
Ok
the message Ok being displayed in red. The system makes 2 errors:
it happens 5 flickers rather than 6, and to wait is useless. Validing makes
return to the text screen (which gives me a login. Hopefully I may retake
the hand) for about 2 minutes, after which there is the return of the flickering
(but 7 times, this time). I precise my system is set on _stable_.
A lsmod gives:

A hwinfo gives:

If I run startx, I have a blue and gray logo, with the Debian logo embedded in
black, which displays not less than 3 seconds ! The flickering restarts
nevertheless. And there is a message :

Anyone has an idea ?
Heartly yours,
