I have just confirmed that the display corruption is _not_ a debconf bug, but is caused by xresprobe being run. If I replace xresprobe by a simple shell script that produces identical output, the display corruption does not occur. For reference, running xresprobe in VirtualBox on my system results in (first 3 lines have a trailing space): id: res: freq: disptype: crt I will clone this BR to the X strike force, but also leave it against cdebconf (blocked by #430545) as a reminder of the issue.
