Yes. Seems the patch works ... Thanks a lot, Denis. I upgraded nearly the entire unstable system on that alu-PowerBook 5.8, including xserver-xorg* packages (I just held back openssh, IIRC), and it seems, even after rebooting the machine, everything's fine here .. Jan, as to #379480: ... perhaps the patch helps even for what was described at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=379480 I'm definitely not sure: but perhaps it helps to patch the source of xserver-xorg ("apt-get source xserver-xorg") and see whether you have a usable X ... The patch should be available near the end of: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=388568 Simply patching the sources here, IIRC, was completely enough here ... no need to change any other files except applying the patch from Denis, as it seems ... After that, and compiling the sources, all I did (according to my bash_history) was to install some of the newly created packages in the dir with the new .deb packages : dpkg -i x11-common_7.1.0-1_powerpc.deb xserver-xorg* and then aptitude -D dist-upgrade At least this seems true at Wed, 04 Oct 2006 3 o'clock in the morning, CET, .... :) Even the frame-buffer in xorg.conf is enabled ... :) Here's my current xorg.conf: ---------------------------------- # xorg.conf.dpkg-new (Xorg X Window System server configuration file) # # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using # values from the debconf database. # # Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf.dpkg-new manual page. # (Type "man xorg.conf.dpkg-new" at the shell prompt.) # # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only* # if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg # package. # # If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated # again, run the following commands as root: # # cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.dpkg-new /etc/X11/xorg.conf.dpkg-new.custom # md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf.dpkg-new >/var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.dpkg-new.md5sum # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Section "Files" # see http://wiki.debian.org/Xorg69To7: # FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server # if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" # FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1" # FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/CID" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi:unscaled" # FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype" FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" EndSection Section "Module" Load "bitmap" Load "dbe" Load "ddc" Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "freetype" Load "glx" Load "int10" Load "record" Load "type1" Load "v4l" Load "vbe" Load "evdev" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "macintosh" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:lwin_switch" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "LeftEdge" "0" Option "RightEdge" "850" Option "TopEdge" "0" Option "BottomEdge" "645" Option "MinSpeed" "0.4" Option "MaxSpeed" "1" Option "AccelFactor" "0.02" Option "FingerLow" "55" Option "FingerHigh" "60" Option "MaxTapMove" "20" Option "MaxTapTime" "100" Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0" Option "VertScrollDelta" "30" Option "SHMConfig" "on" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc.
