Bug#761877: xserver-xorg: Updated Xorg from Testing fails to start correctly
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.7+7
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
After updating the Xorg packages from Stable to Testing xorg will no longer
start and bring up the desktop. If I run the script to set the resolution as
part of launching the display manager the gtk-greeter loads momentarily and
then crashes immediately & repeatedly as apparently Xorg then restarts. Logs
seem to indicate that the display manager cannot find a display to use. I am unable to determine if this is a problem with the ATI drivers. Still
using display manager from stable so there should be no problem there.
