libdrm-intel1 2.4.58-2 from jessie seems to have solved the issue. At least get X to start!

Helping folks with xrandr issues
Hi there, What's good general advice for dealing with xrandr issues for end users? I had a look at http://x.debian.net/ The search link on https://lists.debian.org/debian-x/ is pretty useless I tried to help a user here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/123953/ And I ended up pointing him to Intel's report bug page http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html which does seem to be a really high barrier for entry for average Joe User. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/webc-users/0lTYXqQLkJw/it626uMsAk8J is an nvidia issue (I think) on the Debian based distro I work on. I'm not sure what actually power the nvidia hardware here, though the package list can be found at: http://download.webconverger.com/webc-12.3.txt In these cases can I assume it's the video drivers fault if xrandr fails? Any other hints to help debugging would be great. For example when I switch to some modes in xrandr on some machines, the monitor just goes black and then I'm not sure what to do next.

Bug#498189: Autotesting - README.debian
I'll look into replicating your good work on Webconverger. :-) Previously I bemoaned that my auto-building scripts weren't working. http://git.webconverger.org/?p=build.git Now they are working! See: http://build.webconverger.com/ Tbh I am not sure why the xfonts-scalable problem went away. I've yet to figure out how my script manage to trigger some wild tty settings. How is the autobuilding setup with live going anyway? My slicehost isn't very powerful, though I'll set something up if people encourage me.

Bug#498189: xfonts-scalable: fmt fed invalid width b0rks installation
Package: xfonts-scalable Version: 1:1.0.0-6 Severity: normal This bug looks similar to #300990. When I install xfonts-scalable without a terminal in a script I think inside debian/xsfbs/xsfbs.sh when it calls message() reject_nondigits() could do more by checking that columns are within a certain range acceptable to `fmt`.

Forcing monitor resolutions
Currently debian live seems to use a 1:7.3+5 deprecated way of setting the resolution: http://git.debian.net/?p=live-initramfs.git;a=blob;f=scripts/live-bottom/21xvidemode;h=a11dc77a47f5d70f610b380a9ad5bcedd1c427db;hb=HEAD#l41 Use debconf from which dexconf generated the xorg.conf with the wanted screen resolution.

I don't think the X-Xorg SUID wrapper is passing arguments properly. These
invocations as root run fine:
xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /usr/bin/X :1 -logfile /tmp/runmeX.txt -config
xorg.webc.conf -auth /tmp/serverauth.CBjhw27703
xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /usr/bin/Xorg :1 -logfile /tmp/runmeX.txt
-config xorg.webc.conf -auth /tmp/serverauth.CBjhw27703
So the ARGS are fine.
Kind regards,
