Re: KDE stucked when it started

Hello

I don't know if this has anything to do with your problem, but after doing an upgrade yesterday (I'm running sid) kde stopped working for me. I could get the login screen allright, but after logging in, the screen would go black and my computer wouldn't react at all. (ctr-alt-backspace, ctr-alt-F1, crt-alt-delete,... none of that would work, I had to do a hard reboot) Since I seemed to remember that the last update had brought some new versions of xserver-xorg, I tried to downgrade. Specifically I downgraded:

  xserver-xorg:1:7.3+6 --> 1:7.2-5
  xserver-xorg-core: 2:1.4-3 --> 2:1.3.0.0
  xserver-xorg-input-evdev: 1:1.2.0-git20070819~4 --> 1:1.1.5-3
  xserver-xorg-input-kbd:	 1:1.2.2-3 --> 1:1.2.0-1+
  xserver-xorg-input-mouse: 1:1.2.3-1 --> 1:1.2.2-1
  xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: 0.14.7~git20070706-1 --> 0.14.7~git20070517-2
  xserver-xorg-video-intel: 2:2.2.0-1 --> 2:2.1.0-2

This was - as far as I could figure - the smallest downgrade I could do while satisfying dependencies.

  • and now kde is running just fine.

As an added bonus my caps-lock-led has started working again :-)

I'm running on an Thinkpad T43 with an Intel 916GM graphics controller.

best regards
