Frozen screen; Info lacks C-n; (Jessie)
Hi.
After upgrading to Jessie, I am finding some problems:
1) Frozen screen
I cannot find a proper Xorg configuration for my laptop. When X is
closed, the screen freezes and gets full of blank stripes and stains.
There is no way to get to the console after X is started
(Ctr-Alt-F1...). [The symptoms change according to the display manager;
gdm3 problems are more severe, not even starting X successfully. Kdm
lets me using X, but not re-login or go to a console.]
When I used Debian Squeeze (as "testing"), I had the same problem.
Eventually, as of an upgrade (Wheezy), I could get a fully working
screen, provided that no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file existed (that worked
with an older gdm version, but not with a newer one). Then I could
alternate between X and framebuffer/console. Now, after upgrading to
Jessie, that approach does not work anymore: input devices (synaptics
pad and keyboard) stop to work when X starts. With an xorg.conf file, I
have the freezing problem described above. I do not know how to get a
correct xorg.conf setup.
I am using a Positivo Laptop. This is the information on the video card
and monitor, from hwinfo:

I find strange that the monitor resolution is detected as 800x600,
because it is really is 1200x800.
2) The other issue is about GNU Info. After upgrading to version
5.2.0.dfsg.1-1_i386, it cannot understand anymore the command C-n ("Next
Line").
Thanks,
