The very first thing to do is test with a simple environment. Which means neither Gnome nor KDE. I advise to shut down any display manager, log in on the console, and then: X & sleep 2 && DISPLAY=:0 xterm & Then you can do some basic tests, especially between X11 fonts and Xft fonts: xfd -fn fixed xfd -fa serif As for me, I can tell that the current version of xserver works for me, but I do not use neither KDE nor Gnome, nor any compositing manager, and I upgraded (in /opt) to version 2.3.0 of the intel driver to get overlay video (and a small custom patch to get it full screen), so this is no proof. It seems that xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.3.0 is available in experimental. Hope this helps. Regards, -- Nicolas George
