The xserver-xorg-video-intel package should be relevant only for quite old hardware though, quoting from its package description: | The use of this driver is discouraged if your hw is new enough (ca. | 2007 and newer). You can try uninstalling this driver and let the | server use it's builtin modesetting driver instead. What hardware do you use where you depend on this package? What's the error message you get when starting X without having xserver-xorg-video-intel present? > The 64 bit & 32 small distros are also both missing Intel drivers, however > restoring > the package will incur an additional 240 MB of dependencies asscociatted with > it. grml-small intentionally don't ship any X.org packages, so that's kind of expected :) (Also see https://grml.org/faq/#grmlsmall ) > Listing this as a known bug on the GRML web site would have been very helpful. > Strangely I recently had a similar problem with another Debian Linux distro > uprgrade, > perhaps this is a Debian issue rather than a GRML bug. We don't ship xserver-xorg-video-intel by intention, since it *should* not be relevant. If it's relevant for certain hardware still being present nowadays and doesn't cause any unwanted side-effects, we could re-consider shipping it though. > Anyways, now everything is sweet. Excellent :) Thanks for your feedback and regards, -mika-
