Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-trident
This system is a Toshiba Tecra M1 with a Trident Microsystems CyberBlade XP4m32 according to /var/log/Xorg.0.log. When I upgraded this morning, X would start but just left garbage on the screen. The keyboard worked, so I could log in, but could not see what I was doing. By booting in recovery mode, I was able to cobble together a working xorg.conf using Xorg -configure, then commenting out the line: # Load "dri" And changing the line referring to /dev/mouse to: Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Before the upgrade, I was using the following line in xorg.conf, but have had to leave it commented out: #Option "ShadowFB" "true" I played around with xorg.conf for a while, but haven't found a satisfactory solution to get to parity with what I had using 6.06. My current xorg.conf, as follows, leaves something to be desired: Whenever I move a window, the content gets garbled. I have to minimize and restore the window to get a readable version again.
