sid xserver-xorg-video-savage problem?
Hi,
On a Toshiba satellite 2800-S202 I've been running under debian
unstable for quiet a while, however Today I performed an "aptitude
safe-upgrade", and I got a new version of xserver-xorg-video-savage.
This was a bad update... Actually I'm writing from a different
computer, since using X is way hard on the Toshiba as of now.
I tried to check for errors on /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but I didn't see
anything important. As I'm running from different computer it's kind
of hard to send the xorg.conf, but I don't think there's a problem
with it, since it was working quiet nice previous to the
safe-upgrade...
The only thing I'm sure is that the package upgrade provoked the
misbehavior. I'll try to describe what's going on as much as I can:
1.- Backgrond image doesn't show up under fluxbox. (no big deal)
2.- When moving the mouse, whatever there is lost and stays in black
after the mouse has passed.
3.- When poping menu up, nothing shows, I need to move the mouse to
wee what's there.
4.- When using mozilla for example, most of the time I can't see
anything, and passing the mouse over the pages doesn't help a thing...
So pretty much my X is useless at this point. I wanted to know if
there's a way to revert back to previous version, which I don't even
remember which was it.... As of now, the version I have after the
upgrade, according to aptitude, is:
1:2.1.3-4
Which is the same one showing up under:
http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/xserver-xorg-video-savage
So I don't think there's another upgrade pending for this package...
Just in case, lspci for the vga controller shows:
S3 Inc. 86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV (rev 13)
I'm using fbDev, since when not, then I can't even see the menu when
passing the mouse nearby... Please le me know if there's a way I can
revert the package version, maybe using the testing one? Or if
there's already a report and there are nads working on the
misbehaviors, :)
Thanks a lot,
