I'm also having problems with the 4.1 packages which got moved into
testing in the last 24 hours. Xdm no longer works, but I can
still start X with xinit. Something's also gone very screwy with the
fonts. Basic fonts like helvetica and courier now display as repeated
instances of a character which looks like an empty rectangle.

I was previously running version 4.1.0-2 of X, taken from unstable
at some point, along with the apropriate mesa libs. The rest of my
system is synced to testing (including, since the upgrade, the
X packages). My graphics card is a Matrox G450 (hence my need to run
4.1).
