Latest version of X not starting in buster

Show all headers | View raw

A couple of months ago, xserver-common, xserver-xorg-core and xserver-xorg-legacy
were upgraded from version 1.19.2 to 1.19.6 in Buster.

But since then, when starting X from the console, the process soon comes to a
grinding halt. These are the last lines:

(==) Log file: "/home/<user>/local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log", Time: Tue Jun 12 16:18:18 2018
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
(==) Using config directory: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d"
(==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"

When I downgrade the three packages back to 1.19.2, same as in Stretch, then
X starts without problems.
Now that 1.19.6 still does not work after a few months, what could be the reason?


These are the last lines in the mentioned log file:
