Package: xserver-xorg-video-sunffb
Version: 1:1.1.0-1

my sunffb package was upgraded by aptitude on wed, 4 oct. i didnt request 
specific versions of anything manually, i was just running update and upgrade. 
the next time i booted the computer, the xserver wouldn't start. the error 
message at the end of Xorg.0.log (provided below) was "no screens found", in 
the section about ffb it read someting i understood so, that the currently 
installed version of sunffb was compiled for a higher version of the xorg 
server 7.1.1 - the installed version is 7.0.0.

my solution to this was to manually downgrade the sunffb package from 1:1.1.0-1 
to 1:1.0.1.3-2
on the next bootup, the xserver started normally.

i suspect that the dependencies of this debian package, and the actual 
dependencies of this version of the sunffb driver mismatch - the debian package 
states a too low version of xorg-server as dependency.

regards, martin.
