Package: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686
Version: 2.6.32-23
Severity: important

The X server involved is as far as I know xserver-xorg-video-intel
version 2:2.9.1-4.

When I install the current Squeeze on my test laptop, a Dell Latitude
D505, starting kdm kill the machine.

This is what happen when I start X manually when logged in via ssh:

  root@pxe-test0-pre:~# X

  X.Org X Server 1.7.7
  Release Date: 2010-05-04
  X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
  Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 i686 Debian
  Current Operating System: Linux pxe-test0-pre.uio.no 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sat Sep 18 02:14:45 UTC 2010 i686
  Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686 root=/dev/mapper/vg_system-root ro quiet
  Build Date: 20 September 2010  03:40:46PM
  xorg-server 2:1.7.7-7 (Julien Cristau <jcristau@debian.org>)
  Current version of pixman: 0.16.4
          Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
          to make sure that you have the latest version.
  Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
          (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
          (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
  (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Tue Oct 12 15:26:01 2010
  (==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"
  (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory

After this, the network connection is dead and the screen and keyboard
on the laptop is black and dead.

I was a similar problem with Ubuntu earlier, reported at
<URL: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/592682 >.

As the workaround for Ubuntu mentioned the file
/etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf and changing modeset there, I tried to
change the current 'modeset=1' to 'modeset=0' and ran
'update-initramfs -u' before testing a reboot, but the problem was
still there.

Not quite sure what more to test.  Any suggestions?  I'm unable to get
any kernel messages from the crash.  Tried tailing /var/log/syslog
over ssh, but no messages showed up.

Happy hacking,

Yes, X comes up with a black screen and no cursor by default (not very
helpful for debugging, but oh well).  X -retro brings back the old
stipple and cross-shaped cursor.

They will.  Thanks for testing.
