Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.5+3
Severity: important
Booting with the stock linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 kernel can only
start X as far as providing a black screen and a pointer. Neither kdm dialog
nor its background image are visible. After a few switches to and from a
totally black screen, I just get a VGA cursor.
The system log contains quite a few messages of the following sort:
[drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung
The X log also contains errors.
Ill attach the Xorg.0.log, dmesg and lspci to a second email.
Note that the problem arose when using no xorg.conf file.
Best regards,
Boris
