xorg not starting with daily DVD.iso

[Paul Dufresne]

Thanks for the incredibly fast answer to my previous question!

I will go with an other one:

I did:
su -
dpkg-reconfigure x11-common
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-legacy
choosed to allow all to start xserver

then, I tried first as a normal user, then as root (because you said root was allowed to lspci devices, not normal users):

startx
results in:
xinit: unable to connect to X server: connection refused

grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log show that:

failed to load fbdevhw (invalid module, 0)
VESA(0) Cannot read int vect


Was it expected?

No, that needs to be investigated.

(note that Xorg runs as root anyway, thanks to the setuid
/usr/lib/xorg/Xorg.wrap)

Just to be clear: that means actually looking at the source code, which
can easily found by using codesearch:

https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=Cannot+read+int+vect&hl=en

and then put prints etc. to get back to where things start going wrong.

This is now fixed with libpciaccess0 version 0.16-3+hurd.4, which will
appear on debian-ports' unreleased within about 6h.
