Just upgraded X.Org X Server from 1.5.3 to 1.6.3.901 and all is not well. First problem noticed is that copy and paste in gnumeric isn't working. I used to be able to use the arrow keys to navigate, ctrl-c to copy and ctrl-v to paste. The paste operation isn't presently working. I rebuilt gnumeric, but it hasn't helped.
'cause of the gnumeric problem, I restarted X. It worked -- sort of. My screen resolution has dropped from 1280x1024 to 1024x768, which is not sufficient. I'm using a minimal xorg.conf -- no video and no screen details. My ASUS mobo has ATI Radeon X1200 support on it -- rather low end but totally adequate for my needs. A few weeks ago I encountered a similar resolution problem after restarting X. That was solved after discovering I had both x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati and x11-drivers/ati-drivers installed. I removed ati-drivers and all was good (until this upgrade). xrandr presently offers 1024x768 as maximum, which is the same as Xorg.0.log indicates. I have thoughts of downgrading to 1.5.3. Any better suggestions? Regards, David FWIW, I've attached the Xorg.0.log files for both 1.5.3 and 1.6.3
