Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
laptop model: Dell Latitude D400
adding "ForceEnablePipeA" solved the problem
problem related to bug# 138256:
https:/
output of `lspci -vvnn | grep -A1 "VGA compat"`:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device [8086:3582] (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Dell Latitude D400 [1028:0139]
[SRU]
Impact: Affects users of Dell D400 systems, causing crashes when vt switching. This is a well known bug that is fixed on a per-pciid basis using quirks, and are very safe for backport candidates.
Addressed: A quirk was prepared and sent upstream for review. It was accepted with one correction and deployed in the -intel 2.3.0 release; current git tree shows the quirk still present.
Patch: Attached below.
Test Case: On a Dell Latitude D400, attempt to do vt switches, and this should produce an Xserver crash.
Regression Potential: None. Quirks have been proven to be very safe in backports, and since they only target a very specific chip even if they are incorrect (which has only happened once so far), they only affect users of that exact chip.

I sent this quirk upstream and it was accepted and released for -intel 2.3.0 which we'll get in intrepid once we merge.
