Bug#457795: xorg: The system hangs after starting 'gdm' or 'startx'
Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.3+8
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
The system hangs when trying to start X.
It even stops responding to 'ping' or alt-ctrl-f1,f2...
The screen is blank. Nothing works but reset.
This is a fresh installation of debian 40r0 via netinst CD,
then imediately switched/upgraded to sid.
The X system worked on original 40r0 debian and it stoped
working during upgrade to sid (even during instalation process
itself when it comes to gdm restart). To finish the upgrade
process, I've uninstalled gdm and finished aptitude full-upgrade
in console mode, and reinstalled gdm (which didn't fix the problem).
Even uninstall/reinstall X system didn't fix the problem.
Anyway, the problem is still present. Please let me know what other
info I should send about this problem.
regards,
Zoran Bosnjak
