Do you still have the 2.2.18pre21 kernel that shipped with potato? If so,
either disable the framebuffer interface in xserver-xfree86 (dpkg-reconfigure

It's also probably preferable

He meant $REALSTARTUP, w/o
Apparently the problem is the quoted $REALSTARTUP variable in the exec
command of /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_start. I removed the quotes
and it's fine. I guess there were newlines chars in there or something, which

Hello.
I'm currently running Debian testing with kernel 2.2.17. I encountered
this problem, after xlibs, xserver-svga and other X stuff got upgraded.
And the problem is; Blackbox doesn't work anymore. When I type startx,
it just "hangs" to that grey screen and mouse moves with huge delay.

Hi all,
I'm setting up a server that will eventually be connected directly to
the net - which I've never done before (except my firewall I guess,
which doesn't do anything else).
Currently, though, it's on my masqued internal network.
This has been causing me some grief. For example, apache (apac
