Bug#588659: xserver-xorg: working on it, seems that no screen found, P7H55M

[yellow protoss <yellowprotoss@gmail.com>]

Dear Sir, 

I am encountering with the following necessity of using TESTING SQUEEZE for this new hardware : ASUS P7H55M Pro; that the xserver-xorg freezes very often. 

It does turn off the monitor [sort of energy screen dpmi saving off] and then there is no way to get the monitor back again. 

SSH still works however. I tried to xset to turn back ON the monitor but no way.

This is occuring after a long time period of several hours are leaving alone the PC wihtout any users using it. 

(sorry for my bad english )

Best regards

This looks like a very recent graphics card, it won't work fine with
Lenny. You must upgrade to squeeze/testing, use a kernel at least
2.6.32-5-amd64/686 (the 2.6.32-3 you tried is not recent enough, take
the one in testing right now), let KMS enabled and use recent intel
driver (maybe even 2.12 in experimental) and Xserver.
