Bug#785265: xserver-xorg was not installed

2015-05-21 Thread John Talbut

Package: xserver-xorg-video-s3 Version: 1:0.6.0-1 Severity: important As soon as X is started the screen switches to power saving mode, the same when running gdm or xorg. If I use the vesa driver this does not happen (but it is slow). This happened after installing Lenney, it worked all right
