A temporary solution to this problem came up in one of the threads on
debian-devel. If you are not running xfs, the xserver will go into an
endless loop when encountering the line
FontPath "unix/:7100"
So comment that out.
Apparently it has nothing to do with a specific video card or dri or
agpgart.

I just upgraded to the newest imlib packages from potato--version 1.9.3-1

Can anyone help me figure this out? I am running all the latest from potato.

My 'plog' command has stopped working--by that I mean that when I type 'plog'
nothing is printed. And possibly related is the fact that my ppp.log files
are empty. I'm running the latest from hamm.
