Bug#386587: agpgart/i810: xserver will not start
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.23
Severity: important
Perhaps this is not the correct package for this bug report, but I'm hoping
a quick fix is available.
As of my most recent dist-upgrade, the xorg server no longer starts. The
error is "AGP GART support is not available. Make sure your kernel agpgart
support or that the kernel agpgart module is loaded." The final message is
"Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration."
I have an i810 video card, and lsmod shows that the agpgart module is indeed
loaded (as it has always been). I also tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg,
but this seems to have given the same configuration information again and
I still get the same error.
This error is new: when I went to bed late night, everything worked fine,
but on restarting my system today it is no longer usable. I have done a
couple of "apt-get upgrade" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" upgrades in the
last couple of days since I last restarted the system.
Any advice on how to fix this would be appreciated.
