Tried also, but only with fail. I hope there will be a fixed Xserver or Intel driver soon

I downloaded and downgraded the packages as follow and the system seems to be ok (I've been using it for a while)
xserver-common_1.19.6-1_all.deb
xserver-xorg-core_1.19.6-1_amd64.deb
xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.99.917+git20171229-1_amd64.deb
That's all for now, bye.

For Nvidia GPU users, here is what I saw in the last hour:

Code: [Select]
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libjpeg-turbo-progs libturbojpeg0 yudit-common
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  feh libcurl3 libgles-nvidia1 libgles1-glvnd-nvidia libgles1-nvidia
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libcurl4
The following packages will be upgraded:
  curl fonts-freefont-ttf gdal-data hdparm ifupdown libcpupower1 libcuda1 libcurl3-gnutls
  libcurl4-gnutls-dev libegl-nvidia0 libfm-qt-l10n libgdal20 libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx libgles-nvidia2
  libgles2-nvidia libglx-nvidia0 ............
 

Seeing the updated libglesXXX packages, I went ahead with the d-u, and there is no problem on my system.

Code: [Select]
Graphics:  Card-1: NVIDIA GM107 [GeForce GTX 750 Ti] driver: nvidia v: 390.59
           Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.0 driver: nvidia resolution: 1920x1200~60Hz, 1920x1080~60Hz
           OpenGL: renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 6.0 256 bits) v: 3.3 Mesa 18.0.4

During the d-u, dpkg reports a bug in the new nvidia-driver metapackage, so choose your risk tolerance and proceed accordingly.

Well i made a downgrade, using dpkg not apt, renamed the xorg.conf to xorg.conf~ and restarted the system.

Code: [Select]
inxi -G
Graphics:  Card-1: Intel Core Processor Integrated Graphics driver: i915 v: kernel
           Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.19.6 driver: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa resolution: 1440x900~60Hz
           OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Ironlake Mobile v: 2.1 Mesa 18.0.4

As far as i can see there are no glitches with the kernel modesetting driver (intel gpu).
So both solutions are working for me.

Edit: I found that bug report

I hope, the new and patched Xserver will be landing in SID repos as fast as possible ;-)

I just looked and there's still no replacement for the faulty xserver packages.

Working xserver-common version: 2:1.19.6-1
Bad version: 2:1.20.0-2
I'll wait

Up to now no updated packages for the buggy xserver-xorg packages.

On my Son's Laptop (MacBook) after the update also freezes. Could fix it with a downgrade of the xserver-xorg packages so far.
But here we find a second problem:
The trackpad after the latest DU is no more recognized and when try to use it only the cursor moves up and down....

There must be some additional bugs in xserver.......

The mesa 18.0.5-1 packages have arrived here, but not sure if this is the solution to the problem.

Done a full-upgrade, new mesa file arrived, tested it and as far as i can see, there are no freezes and graphical glitches.
For my system the problem seems to be solved/ fixed.

I'm uploading a fixed mesa (18.0.5). After that we need to ensure that the
xserver 1.20 can't be installed with a non-working combination of mesa.

Cheers,
Emilio
