Bug#365654: xserver-xorg-core: hangs with or without errors in Xorg.0.log
Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 1:1.0.2-8
Followup-For: Bug #365654
After upgrading, startx switches the display to graphical mode, it
flashes black a few times, and then hangs. The keyboard is also dead.
Pressing num-lock does nothing, nor does Ctrl-Alt-F1.
Xorg.0.log reports:
(II) LoadModule: "freetype"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/fonts/libfreetype.so dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/fonts/libfreetype.so: undefined symbol: FreeTypeRegisterFontFileFunctions
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/fonts/libfreetype.so

(II) UnloadModule: "type1"
(EE) Failed to load module "type1" (loader failed, 7)
No other errors reported.
When I copied the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libfreetype.so and
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libtype1.so files from another box to the
broken computer's /usr/lib/xorg/modules/fonts directory and restarted,
the Xlog.0.log showed no errors.
Still, the same behavior was exhibited. The screen went blank, and
the keyboard lost functionality.
I was using the i810 driver. I switched to the vesa driver. Symptoms
identical except that now, the final blank screen is replaced by a
screen with heavily distorted text at the very top, in red, blue, and
gray. The pattern of text stretches across the entire top of the
screen, and appears to repeat, or at least be separated into 32 small
blocks.
Logging in from another computer, ps ax|grep x does not show any X
processes running (such as startx, x-window-manager).
