Package: xorg Version: 1:7.3+10 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
This happened right after I upgraded to the xorg version in the latest system update. unsatisfactory workaround - switching to the vesa driver. the subject is adequately descriptive - except that the SHIFT KEY also fails.. If I didn't have VMware Server running with a Windows VM so I could enter my root password with an upper case letter in it and hadn't had a copy of Kwrite with desktop icon set to open as root, I wouldn't have been able to get into xorg.conf in order to change the driver setting to vesa. In my opinion, an inexperienced user would not only be unable to get into root, but very possibly wouldn't even be able to file a bug report. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable'), (150, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xorg depends on: ii gnome-terminal [x-t 2.22.1-1 The GNOME 2 terminal emulator appl ii konsole [x-terminal 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-2+b1 X terminal emulator for KDE ii libgl1-mesa-glx [li 7.0.3-1 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libglu1-mesa 7.0.3-1 The OpenGL utility library (GLU) ii x11-apps 7.3+1 X applications ii x11-session-utils 7.3+1 X session utilities ii x11-utils 7.3+1 X11 utilities ii x11-xfs-utils 7.3+1 X font server utilities ii x11-xkb-utils 7.3+1 X11 XKB utilities ii x11-xserver-utils 7.3+2 X server utilities ii xauth 1:1.0.3-1 X authentication utility ii xfonts-100dpi 1:1.0.0-4 100 dpi fonts for X ii xfonts-75dpi 1:1.0.0-4 75 dpi fonts for X ii xfonts-base 1:1.0.0-5 standard fonts for X ii xfonts-scalable 1:1.0.0-6 scalable fonts for X ii xfonts-utils 1:1.0.1-2 X Window System font utility progr ii xinit 1.0.8-1 X server initialisation tool ii xkb-data 1.2~cvs.20080501.1-1 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii xserver-xorg 1:7.3+10 the X.Org X server ii xterm [x-terminal-e 235-1 X terminal emulator Versions of packages xorg recommends: ii xorg-docs 1:1.4-2 Miscellaneous documentation for th -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
