Bug#443315: xserver-xorg-video-vesa: switching the resolution crashes the xserver

The only way to use the full resolution I found was to use 915resolution to create 1920x1200 entries in the video bios. I compiled 915resolution from the Debian/unstable sources on this etch box: This bug was probably in the server but you're using a very old one (1.1.1). A very recent one is available in unstable (1.4) and a good one in testing (1.3). Also, your i965 board should be well supported by Intel driver 2.1.1 currently in testing and unstable. Is there any chance you upgrade to testing or unstable instead of trying to debug some code that changed a lot in the last year? Anyway, this bug could be similar to upstream bug at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6842 which seemed to have been ignored so far, so it's hard to say whether it's actually fixed or not.

As I said, I upgraded to unstable and got no video at all with the intel driver, and I think also with the vesa driver. I just installed a testing snapshot on a spare partition from scratch and the intel driver works great, no crash, 32 bpp, resolution switching, and a working console. So why didn't this work when I upgraded xorg in the etch system? Do I need to upgrade the kernel as well? More than the kernel?

Yes, the kernel might matter here, since it provides AGP GART support but only with a recent kernels for i965 boards, and it seems very important for memory allocations in the driver.
