Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.2.1-2
Severity: important


First, I am not sure if the problem is actually in
xserver-xorg-video-intel, it might be in xserver-xorg-core, as I
couldn't get any other video driver (i810, vesa, vga) to work either. 

The combination that works is:

xserver-xorg-core        2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12lenny2
xserver-xorg-input-kbd   1:1.1.0-4
xserver-xorg-input-mouse 1:1.1.1-3
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.1.0-2

the combination that is broken is:

xserver-xorg-core        2:1.4.1~git20080131-4
xserver-xorg-input-kbd   1:1.2.2-3
xserver-xorg-input-mouse 1:1.2.3-2
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.2.1-2

(the mouse and kbd drivers need to be changed because of dependencies,
but I don't think they are the problem).


Now for the problem: 

Hardware:

 Display: Eizo S2431W TFT display with 1920x1200 resolution connected
     via DVI cable.
 Graphics Chipset: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics
     Controller (rev 02)

With xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.1.0 this worked fine (except that the
timing was slightly off and the display reported 1202 vertical lines -
easily corrected with xrandr). After the upgrade to 2.2.1 the login
screen of gdm is not visible - the display is flickering very rapidly,
showing whitish clouds (which are probably an optical illusion induced by
the flickering). The display reports 1920x1200 at 60 Hz. If I start the
X server from the command line, the display is completely black, not
even the mouse cursor is visible. Again, the display thinks that the
signal is ok. I can switch between the text and graphics display, so the
X server hasn't crashed.

Hi! I'm closing this bug, since it was tagged "wontfix" for some
years, without answer. If you have new reasons to point out this
problem, please feel free to re-open it or ask me to do it.
