Bug#866758: upgrade-reports: xorg will not start

[Thomas Troeger]

Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

As of today, Xorg does not start after an `aptitude update'. I am
running Debian testing and am updating daily. `startx' tells me that
`(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.' I am
reporting this bug with the reportbug utility, but strange enough it
does not ask to attach configuration files or whatever. I am, thus,
adding the Xorg.0.log file inplace:

* What led up to the situation?

aptitude update

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?

Removing all nVidia related packages did not help.

* What was the outcome of this action?

Does not work.

* What outcome did you expect instead?

Would start using VESA or nouveau drivers.

Followup-For: Bug #866758


Following the Debian upgrade below, GDM3 boots to a blank *graphical desktop* when Default X11 login is selected. Desktop shuts down automatically after several minutes, (usually.)

The cursor is active at login prompt, then disappears if 'System X11 Default,' 'Gnome,' 'Gnome Classic,' is selected and the login button is pressed. An unresponsive desktop background displays with no cursor.

The desktop appears to start normally only when 'Gnome on Wayland' is selected. (However, some applications still have display issues on Wayland, including Gedit. Therefore, this workaround is not very satisfactory.)
