Comment 2 for bug 28146

severity 345958 grave
thanks

Hi, FWIW, this problem also occurs on my machine (LinuxCertified LC2210D
laptop w/ Intel 82852/855GM chipset). Running the X server causes it to
segfault, and it doesn't release the keyboard/console, so I have to
reboot forcefully (Ctrl-Alt-SysRq-B). Downgrading to 6.8.2 fixes the
problem.

I'm escalating this bug to grave 'cos it "makes the package in question
unusable or mostly so" (http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer).

Relevant packages:

ii debconf 1.4.67 Debian configuration management system
ii laptop-detect 0.12.1 attempt to detect a laptop
ii libc6 2.3.5-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone
ii libgcc1 4.0.2-5 GCC support library
ii libxau6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-1 X Authentication library
ii libxdmcp6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-1 X Display Manager Control Protocol library
ii mdetect 0.5.2.1 mouse device autodetection tool
ii xlibs 6.9.0.dfsg.1-1 X Window System client libraries metapackage
ii xserver-common 6.9.0.dfsg.1-1 files and utilities common to all X servers
ii zlib1g 1.2.3-9 compression library - runtime

Hope this helps.
