Package: udev Version: 163-1 Severity: important When I upgrade udev from 0.125-7+lenny3 to 163 on my system, after reboot, X doesn't work (I don't use a display manager, I use startx) I get a mouse cursor that moves, a black background (I don't usually have a black background), some video artifacts at the top of the screen, and the system is unresponsive to mouseclicks and most keyboard activity. The Caps-lock key toggles the LED until I do Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (which doesn't change the screen), and after that, caps-lock key has no further effect. I power-cycle to recover. I haven't checked if the system can be accessed remotely when this happens.
With 0.125-7+lenny3, I get the expected behavior: no windows open automatically when I start X, but the root menu functions to start apps. Some things I think may be relevant: the laptop has a nvidia chipset I have not downloaded or installed any non-open-source or non-free video drivers I have no packages with "nvidia" in the name installed, just xserver-xorg-video-nv I am willing to install packages from debian/non-free as needed. With 163-1, the console switches from standard VGA to high-res framebuffer mode during the bootup There is no video-mode switch with 0.125-7+lenny3 This problem happens with both a 2.6.32-5 squeeze kernel, and a 2.6.32-bpo.5 backports.org kernel This problem also happens with udev 160-1 found in testing Installed versions of some packages: ii linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 2.6.32-23 ii linux-image-2.6.32-bpo.5-686 2.6.32-21~bpo50+1 ii xserver-xorg 1:7.3+20 ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4.2-10.lenny2 ii xserver-xorg-input-kbd 1:1.3.1-1 ii xserver-xorg-input-mouse 1:1.3.0-1 ii xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 0.14.7~git20070706-3 ii xserver-xorg-video-nv 1:2.1.10-1 -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.5 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages udev depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libselinux1 2.0.65-5 SELinux shared libraries ii libudev0 163-1 libudev shared library ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-13 userspace USB programming library ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii util-linux 2.17.2-3.1 Miscellaneous system utilities Versions of packages udev recommends: ii pciutils 1:3.0.0-6 Linux PCI Utilities ii usbutils 0.73-10lenny2 Linux USB utilities udev suggests no packages. -- debconf information: udev/new_kernel_needed: false udev/title/upgrade: udev/reboot_needed: udev/sysfs_deprecated_incompatibility: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
