Package: gnome-settings-daemon Version: 3.4.2+git20121218.7c1322-3 Followup-For: Bug #629351
Sorry for the long long delay. It took time to fix the X server issue on my Yeeloong mipsel box. It turned out this issue still persists, and the same solution, dropping "-Wl,-z,defs" from LDFLAGS still fixes the problem. I'm attaching the patch that modifies debian/rules that also exclude mipsel from add the flag, together with ia64. Long story: after X server started to work, gdm3 would display the "Oh no! Something has gone wrong" dialog, the same as #687569 [1]. However it was not cause by graphic driver, and after inspecting :0-greeter.log, it turned out it was actually gnome-settings-daemon that segfaulted. As stated above, this bug renders GNOME unusable on mipsel on wheezy. As the change is trivial, I would like to suggest incorporate the patch on stable release as well, and include it in the next point release. Thanks.
