Hi folks, I'm happy to report that after quite a bit of hunting, bug #392500 is fixed in xorg-server 2:1.1.1-14 in incoming. That means we finally have an X server newer than Xorg 6.9 which works on alpha. One RC bug down... :)
Please test if this version of xserver-xorg-core fixes any problems you might have been having with X on alphas (specifically, ev56 and above). The bug that was identified was pervasive enough that it potentially explains any number of failures with drivers of all sorts, but there may be other latent bugs that were obscured by the fact that the X server as a whole was broken. :) If you are still seeing other breakage with X on alpha, you will need to report these bugs soon for there to be any chance of fixing them for etch. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
