Bug Description
After updates on 4-6th July, this includes a kernal upgrade from 2.6.23.2 to 2.6.23.3, I get white screen on loging in. I have to say blinded by Ctrl f2, metacity --replace, which gives me my desktop...
This is an intel 915gm graphics, And I am running intrepid with all latest updates... Booting into older kernel still produces same white screen. I tried reconfiguring xserver (-phigh) with no success.

Hey, if you start compiz in a terminal, you may see "failed to create drawable" messages. If this is the case, you are experiencing the same issue I am, which I described in "CreateDrawable failing with old DRI" on the xorg mailing list. I have been unable to isolate the underlying cause of this and have yet to hear back from Kristian or the list. Superficially, it looked like mesa commit 23635510e3333ea 8056311afa741c5 e6d7c9ec15 might fix the issue, but no such luck.
