Bug#319003: xserver-xorg: Trident and -3: libvgahw is still broken
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
This bug-report is related to #318218, #318231, #318271, #318405. Feel
free to merge it with them. I didn't, because part of the problem
reported in these bug-reports was indeed fixed by the last version.
With the previous versions of xserver-xorg, because of the
miscompilation in libvgahw, the screen was pure white in graphical mode,
and completely garbled when switching to text VTs. Now, with the fix
included in -3, the text consoles are usable again. But the screen is
still pure white in graphical mode.
Installing the libvgahw.a file compiled by Ender fixes the problem. So
it seems there is another miscompilation somewhere in the file.
