I share all of these concerns. I'm beginning to wonder just how many of us are left... I've been posting here on the assumption the problems I'm seeing are Alpha-specific. There's an implicit assumption that the developers who maintain Alpha ports for Debian are at least lurking in the background. As far as helping ourselves, I suspect the odds would improve with judicious crossposting, but *where*? The libc and Xorg lists are high-traffic, and at least in the case of libc, the Alpha- specific problems with LinuxThreads are known and not going to be fixed (per Ulrich Drepper -- gotta wonder if the problems would be allowed to persist if they affected x86). Tried moving my monitor from the VGA port to the DVI port using the DVI <--> VGA adapter this evening. No change as far as fbdev behavior. I'll try the radeon driver with dri disabled sometime tomorrow. Sorry I don't have the time to try multiple things at a single sitting, but the weekend should work out a bit better in that respect. Last resort will be to scrub Xorg 7.X off the system and go back to what I had before I got on this crazy roller-coaster. That's *not* the preferred option, because no progress will be made in fixing the problems. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Tracy WTO + WIPO = DMCA? http://www.anti-dmca.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
