-- Posting mainly for Debian users --

Almost a year ago I mentioned on my blog the introduction of the Xorg package. Now, Xorg version 7.0 entered the 'testing' repository recently. It's a major change in the packaging, and therefore a complex upgrade, resulting in a number of problems for users of 'testing' and particularly 'unstable' repositories. Because so many users encounter problems, Debian has introduced a 'XStrikeForce' team, working through the bugs.

Anyhow, only people using the 'unstable' and 'testing' repositories are impacted, ... but those kind of geeks are aware of such possible issues, isn't it ?!

And, for some people having real problems, ... http://wiki.debian.org/Xorg69To7 did the trick for me !
