--- Begin Message ---Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.0.23 Severity: serious Hello, upgrading xserver-xorg from 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 to 1:7.0.23 broke my previously running X: No core pointer Fatal server error: failed to initialize core devices This is because xserver-xorg.config forces mouse port to /dev/input/mice while it was /dev/gpmdata before. And since /dev/input/mice just doesn't exist, startx fails. I think this is because xserver-xorg.config seems to hardcode the mouse port to /dev/input/mice currently: xserver-xorg.config:2022:AUTODETECTED_PORT="/dev/input/mice" xserver-xorg.config:2023:AUTODETECTED_PROTOCOL="ImPS/2" xserver-xorg.config:2024: xserver-xorg.config:2025:db_subst xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/port choices $AUTODETECTED_PORT xserver-xorg.config:2026:auto_answer db_input "$(priority_ceil low)" xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/port "${AUTODETECTED_PORT}" xserver-xorg.config:2027: xserver-xorg.config:2028:db_get xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/port And because I always configured X via xserver-xorg, the config entry has the seen flag set and is not shown again. I'm not even able to change it via dpkg-reconfigure :/ Yes, my debconf/priority is set to low, but also an explicit dpkg-reconfigure -plow doesn't show it. I don't know why you think you need to hardcode things this way - okay, the mouse autodetection didn't work well with 6.9 (especially with gpm running it left the mouse in some strange state), but IMHO asking users then would be a better option. Since for most users /dev/input/mice should be available, I don't set the bug's severity to grave. However, I don't think the package is suitable for release with this behaviour. Especially because the package currently breaks previously running systems this way. My X was always configured via the package's config-interface. This is currently impossible - I have to manually fix my xorg.conf since the package doesn't leave me another chance :/ regards Mario -- It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration. -- Dijkstra
