Bug#403975: Upgrade report, continues

[Robert de Bath]

Segfault appear to be fixed by upgrade to vesa driver that's arrived
in test today. However, the vesa driver is VERY slow compared to the
trident driver when using "mplayer" even though I've disabled XVideo
in the trident driver (mplayer window is blue when enabled).

The Trident driver also claims the display has 8192 kByte of memory,
it actually has 32768 kBytes. (It ignores a VideoRam option)

The ShadowFB makes little difference to the vesa driver (for video) but
prevents the trident driver working if it's set to yes; the screen
remains in what appears to be a corrupted "textmode". Note, however,
this is NOT actually textmode as I have a "vga=0x318" in my lilo.conf.

I've also now tried the fbdev driver; it appears to be getting the video
planes wrong in some way, I get four distorted copies of the desktop 
across the screen. (ppmtofb works fine; once package problem is overridden)

Bug#403975: Upgrade report

[Robert de Bath]

Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.1.0-8

Upgrade report from sarge.

Packages removed for x11-common to be able to install:
  ucbmpeg-play qvwm opera-static

The existing xorg.conf was very complex; it caused the Xserver to 
segfault. I have attached it but am not currently using it; I will 
probably be re-adding may of the changes if I find a specific problem I 
will add it here.


I regenerated a new xorg.conf accepting the defaults (except for the 
display name and acceptable video modes).


The machine this is on is a Toshiba Portage R100.

Value in  XkbLayout of generated xorg.conf file was "uk" the correct value 
is "gb". With "uk" the keyboard was in "us" layout and the Ctrl-Alt Fkeys 
did not work.


The default layout also used the "synaptics" driver for the 'touch-pad' 
mouse, I understand the device is an 'ALPS Glidepad'. This is sufficiently 
different from a synaptics for the default setup of the synaptics driver 
to be unusable and the documentation is not sufficient to correct this 
without a LOT of guesswork.  I have disabled the synaptics driver and am

using the default ps/2 setup.

The known bugs in the xv extension and the DPMS are still present.
