XORG will be REMOVED

[se7en]

Please wait till xorg is fully uploades. At the moment lots of packages will be removed.

I have installed xserver-xorg-video-intel, -fbdev and -vesa only.
At the moment it just want's to remove xserver-xorg-video-vesa on my system.

Anyway it seems no good idea to me to remove the fallback.

So I keep on waiting.

d-u going through correctly now in North America -- 16:50 Eastern Time Zone.

[clubex]

only 2 packages will be removed as of 10:25 UK on the http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ repositories

xserver-xorg-video-s3virge
xserver-xorg-video-tdfx

As I have neither of the card/chipsets I have let the du continue.

[dibl]

Right -- we still have removals on 4 drivers:

xserver-xorg-video-s3virge
xserver-xorg-video-tdfx
xserver-xorg-video-openchrome
xserver-xorg-video-tseng

So folks with those GPUs need to wait.

I forgot to add that the DU wrecked the pager and taskmanager on the panel. Easily fixed by removing and reinstalling both of them.

Haven't, as yet, noticed any other anomalies.

@clubex, what is your GPU?  I saw no problems with my Nvidia or Intel graphics.

dibl:

NVIDIA C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a]  with nouveau.

Googling I gather this card does have some problems with nouveau. But that wouldn't explain why a change in xorg would affect KDE especially something as dramatic as removing/misconfiguring widgets.

What actually happened was the task master no longer existed and the pager became a red X complaining about not finding a link (I can't remember exactly what).

with nouveau.

That must be it -- some interaction between the nouveau driver and the new xorg version.  I'm using nvidia-glx on 2 Nvidia GPUs.

Yep, that helps.  Thanks devil.

Just discovered that init 3, DU and init 5 && exit always removes the pager from the KDE panel on my machine. Might be something to do with some of the qt4 stuff during the xorg DU.

[devil]

Someone said, removing and readding it would help.

[clubex]

TYes devil it was me. But since then I've discovered the pager always gets "lost" (ie. reported as unknown widget) after exiting X and returning to it.

Fixed my problem by removing the old panel and creating a new default panel. I seem to remember that there was a qt upgrade along with the xorg upgrade so I can only presume that this messed with my particular panel  config ie. panel on the left hand side of the screen.
