Just a precision since my previous email was somewhat unclear about timing: - I started having problems with the cursor yesterday, *before* updating xserver-xorg-video-intel to 2.9.1-1. However, except for that, xrandr was working fine on the VGA screen. - I updated to 2.9.1-1 this morning, and since then have had problems with xrandr only working about one in three times to output to VGA. And whenever it does, it's without cursor. The only thing I can do when it shows a black or blue screen is to restart X and try again. /Alexandre
