I share all of these concerns. I'm beginning to wonder just how many of
us are left... I've been posting here on the assumption the problems
I'm seeing are Alpha-specific. There's an implicit assumption that the
developers who maintain Alpha ports for Debian are at least lurking in
the background. As far as helping ourselves, I suspect the odds would
improve with judicious crossposting, but *where*? The libc and Xorg
lists are high-traffic, and at least in the case of libc, the Alpha-
specific problems with LinuxThreads are known and not going to be fixed
(per Ulrich Drepper -- gotta wonder if the problems would be allowed to
persist if they affected x86).
Tried moving my monitor from the VGA port to the DVI port using the
DVI <--> VGA adapter this evening. No change as far as fbdev behavior.
I'll try the radeon driver with dri disabled sometime tomorrow. Sorry
I don't have the time to try multiple things at a single sitting, but
the weekend should work out a bit better in that respect.
Last resort will be to scrub Xorg 7.X off the system and go back to
what I had before I got on this crazy roller-coaster. That's *not* the
preferred option, because no progress will be made in fixing the problems.
