    Is this for onboard video (using an i810 chipset)? If so, have you always used the built-in X driver?

    Looking at the release notes and i810 driver information pages, DRI is supported and enabled by default, but 3D is not.

    Yes it's a onboard i810 and yes I always used the builtin driver.
    Is there another one?

    Yes but DRI is not enabled as you can see in the logs...
    It was before the upgrade...

    Maybe you could try adding those to your "Device" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
    Code:
    Option          "NoAccel"       "false"
    Option          "DRI"           "true"
    Other than that your xorg.conf looks good. X log shows no errors.

    Also, make sure you have a file called /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so. If not, make a symlink from the old one, which is in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/.

    Hey, I'm seeing something now as I'm doing a dist-upgrade. The x11-common package is giving me this warning:
    Code:
    Some users have reported that upon upgrade to the current package set,
    their xserver package was no longer installed. Because there is no easy
    way around this problem, you should be sure to check that the
    xserver-xorg package is installed after upgrade. If it is not installed
    and you require it, it is recommended that you install the xorg package
    to make sure you have a fully functional X setup.
    Might be worth a look.
