I imagine the fbdev X driver maintainers will be better able to say what information is useful. I was originally curious about whether there was a glibc regression involved (since it bears on what to do for 2.14.x) but it seems this is not the best example for thinking about that anyway. Anyway, if you want to test the glibc aspect, the new /usr/lib/libc/memcpy-syslog-preload.so might be a convenient way (see libc6 2.13-4's NEWS.Debian.gz). The other loose thread I'm curious about is what triggered the bug in the first place. Maybe xserver-xorg-video-ati was only uninstalled recently? (/var/log/dpkg.log would say.) If the crashes started after an upgrade of xserver-xorg-video-fbdev or something like that, that information might be useful to the fbdev maintainers. > I appreciate the added package documentation. Thanks. A while ago I removed the -ati driver and was confusedly puzzling over the package description when I learned an xorg.conf was needed. Should have fixed it then. :) Cloning the bug as a reminder. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
