Bug#420610: xserver-xorg-video-i810: xorg unusable: starts with bad green screen and wrong resolution with 855GM
reassign 420610 xserver-xorg-video-intel
thank you
Note that xserver-xorg-video-i810 has been superseded by
xserver-xorg-video-intel recently (starting with 2.0).

The one in experimental is actually older than the one in unstable as of
today :)

I guess you upgraded xserver-xorg-core to 1.3 and
xserver-xorg-video-intel to 2.0 at this time?

There are a couple pending bugs with driver 2.0 on this chipset
unfortunately.

Do you really need UseFBDev? It isn't used according to the log below.
Do you really need VideoRAM too? Isn't VideoRAM supposed to be passed
with Option at the beginning of line?

These warning are similar to those of
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=420209 (reported
upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10723). The
symptoms are a little bit different, so it's not clear whether I need to
merge these bugs. We'll see once the othe bug is resolved...
