Hi, To summarize: a package update from unstable broke X 4.3.0.pre5. i810 chipset
My machine is a Dell OptiPlex GX270 with a i810 chipset using a Dell 1800FP flat panel. I take X from experimental, because 4.2 didn't work for me when I did the install 2 months ago. I have been using 4.3.0-pre4 since without problem. I upgraded to pre5 without apparent hick. But something in unstable broke X, making me unable to go into graphical mode anymore. Yesterday I pulled some packages from unstable. Today I found out this apparently broke Sun's keytool program. I was having a strange crash doing operations I had been doing 10-20 times a day in the past months without problem. Pulling all new packages from unstable solved the problem. I didn't restart the machine neither X. At one point, I tried to run frozen-bubble but broke X. Not managing to solve by restarting gdm, I rebooted the machine. Problem still there. Under 2.4.24, XFree.log contains something along: Cannot shmat() low memory. Under 2.6.2 I run into other problems, mouse related it seems. But I had similar problems under 2.6.0 so I doubt it will help much. I haven't found anything in google, surfing in lynx is nice, but not such a good browsing experience. I will send another email with the full logs from XFree ASAIC. Any help appreciated, as I need this machine to run ASAP :) Cheers, Jerome
