Package: fglrx-atieventsd
Version: 1:9-12-1
Severity: important
File: fglrx-atieventsd
After recent upgrade in Sid, no more X program could be started.
According to strace, they failed to find or open .Xauthority file, OTOH
this file for unknown reason either became root owner (600 permissions)
or was not created at all by xinit.
The whole case was mysterious until I saw a weird process called
fgrlx-atieventsd daemon having xauth in the arguments. And after
removing the package, the mystery was gone, everything works as usual.
Regards,
Eduard.
