Bug#479724: xserver-xorg-core: xserver fails to start with a conf that has been good for half a year
Petri Kaurinkoski wrote: Hi Brice, I am sorry to disturb you more, but I have to revert back from closing the issue completely. I just noticed the virtual screens 1-6 changed to be shaded (I can not come up with a better description) while the X-window behaves as previously. The interesting part here is that when the system boots, the text is clear white text on black background, but after Xserver is started, the virtual screens go shaded. The texts are printed as expected, but they are hardly readable: it is as if a filter or curtain was drawn on to of the screen. I attach the Xorg.0.log if that gives you any clue about what is going on. This problem is unrelated to the previous one, please open a new bug about it. You might to check that you don't have the radeonfb kernel module loaded (check in lsmod). Send us the contents of /proc/fb so that we know for sure.

Hi Brice, I commented out the lines you suggested, and that did the trick: xserver starts now as expected. From my poin of view, the bug could be closed. Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi Brice, I am sorry to disturb you more, but I have to revert back from closing the issue completely. I just noticed the virtual screens 1-6 changed to be shaded (I can not come up with a better description) while the X-window behaves as previously.
