Bug#639576: xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver stops with FATAL: Module fbcon not found

[Mathias Palm <mathias.palm@gmx.net>]

Hi Julien, thanks for your swift answer.

I frequently doing a dist-upgrade. Usually it goes without problems or am 
able to solve the problems myself (it is testing).

When I remember correctly it stopped working after a dist-upgrade about two weeks ago
and I also removed some old kernels from my computer (up to 2.3.36). I did use the
newer kernels (3.0 and 2.39) for a while before.

X is started through xdm. When I log in now, the screen goes black and the login screen appears
a few seconds later.

While trying to relsove the problem, I started the server with the comand X. The screen
goes black also and nothing happens anymore. I can switch back to the console using
SRRG+ALT+F1 and see the output of the X command (I attach it to this mail).

Kind regards
Mathias
