Bug#648856: xserver-xorg-video-intel: Xorg refuses to start



>Hi,
Hi Cyril,
First, apologies, it works now. It was not that Xorg refused to start, it's just I didn't know that when Xorg starts, 
it's not anymore a checkerboard screen but a black one.
So Xorg was in fact working, the problem was the transition from gnome2 to gnome3...gdm2 has not been automaticaly upgraded to gdm3 and it stoped working.
After a manual reinstallation of gnome-core and gdm3, it works.

It was a dist-upgrade from a one month old testing snapshot to the last testing snapshot.

Well, I didn't know that.

Okey.
