I had this file: it had been left from `xserver-common'.  I removed it
using `dpkg --purge'.  Now X simply hangs without issuing this message,
both with 2.6.15 and 16.

Same file here, but it still doesn't load -- but I no longer get this
message.  ;-)

Right.  I'm clueless now.  I'd be tempted to say that there are even
more important issues than packaging issues.  These "end of block range"
messages typically lead me to think that Xorg 7 is currently buggy, or
at least the video drivers at hand.  I suppose similar problems occur on
other arches as well?

Thanks,
