Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.3+10
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
This happened right after I upgraded to the xorg version in the latest system update.
unsatisfactory workaround - switching to the vesa driver.
the subject is adequately descriptive - except that the SHIFT KEY also fails.. If I didn't
have VMware Server running with a Windows VM so I could enter my root password with an upper
case letter in it and hadn't had a copy of Kwrite with desktop icon set to open as root, I
wouldn't have been able to get into xorg.conf in order to change the driver setting to vesa.
In my opinion, an inexperienced user would not only be unable to get into root, but very
possibly wouldn't even be able to file a bug report.
