severity 345958 grave
thanks

Hi, FWIW, this problem also occurs on my machine (LinuxCertified LC2210D
laptop w/ Intel 82852/855GM chipset). Running the X server causes it to
segfault, and it doesn't release the keyboard/console, so I have to
reboot forcefully (Ctrl-Alt-SysRq-B). Downgrading to 6.8.2 fixes the
problem.

I'm escalating this bug to grave 'cos it "makes the package in question
unusable or mostly so" (http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer).

Relevant packages:

ii  debconf        1.4.67         Debian configuration management system
ii  laptop-detect  0.12.1         attempt to detect a laptop
ii  libc6          2.3.5-11       GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone
ii  libgcc1        4.0.2-5        GCC support library
ii  libxau6        6.9.0.dfsg.1-1 X Authentication library
ii  libxdmcp6      6.9.0.dfsg.1-1 X Display Manager Control Protocol library
ii  mdetect        0.5.2.1        mouse device autodetection tool
ii  xlibs          6.9.0.dfsg.1-1 X Window System client libraries metapackage
ii  xserver-common 6.9.0.dfsg.1-1 files and utilities common to all X servers
ii  zlib1g         1.2.3-9        compression library - runtime

Hope this helps.
