New bug report received and forwarded.
Your message didn't have a Package: line at the start (in the
pseudo-header following the real mail header), or didn't have a
psuedo-header at all.
This makes it much harder for us to categorise and deal with your
problem report; please ensure that you say which package(s) and
version(s) the problem is with next time. Some time in the future the
problem reports system may start rejecting such messages.

The attached piece of code makes the whole display to flash.

Description: XFree86 3.1.2 SVGA server
This package provides an X server suitable for use with all SVGA

Cirrus,
Western Digital and Oak chipsets.

Description: XFree86 3.1.2 shared libraries
My graphics card is a Trident TVGA9400-Cxi, the XF86Config is
available upon request.
I suspect a drop in the HSync or VSync pulse to cause this (any mode
change causes the same kind of flashing).
Phil.

Notes to self:
#1690: can be closed, can't repro and I haven't heard of anyone ELSE
getting a PF from xdm the whole time I've maintained it
#1691: this is actually a pretty vague complaint. At any rate, Debian now
has parse-xf86config, which is designed to catch exactly these kinds of
errors. xserver-configure (and the xdm init script) works with it to try
to ensure that the XF86Config file is kosher before trying to use it.
#1819: I do not think it is necessary to put a lock on a read-only device
like a mouse. If you run something else that grabs the device and locks
it, the problem is with the something else, not with X. As it stands,
under at least some configurations gpm and X can share the mouse device
(though VC switching may cause gpm issue protocol errors to the system
log).
#2039: I believe this was addressed last year:
XFree86 3.3.2j (4 November 1998)
[...]
1191. Mach64 updates: fix a font bug for non-terminal image text fonts,
update docs and Cards database (#2164, Kevin Martin).
#4056, 4066: these bugs are addressed by questions Q.C1 and Q.D1 in
/usr/doc/xfree86-common/XFree86-FAQ.*
#4546: I cannot reproduce this under the conditions described in the bug
report.
#5475: This problem was fixed by the Great X Reorganization.
*) If you don't want xdm to run, don't install it.
*) Alternatively, see /usr/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ for help with various
xdm scenarios people desire that aren't the default configuration
#5635: fixed in xfree86 3.3.2.3a-9 with Marcelo Magallon's patch
#5734, 6405: Folks have got to learn how to use XKB. Alternatively, they
can just use "XkbDisable", and the X server will inherit the keymap used by
the virtual console.
#5820: this was fixed a long time ago. xinit -- :1 [other server args]
works just fine.
#6400: I can't reproduce this. I do not get a coredump when starting an
xfs when another one is already running. Font services continue to work
fine.
#7354: I tried to reproduce this and couldn't.
#7553: This was fixed in the Great X Reorganization.
#7886: if emacs doesn't know what to do with a key event, that's emacs's
problem

Hello,
Can you please take a look at your bug report for xserver-svga and decide if

Thank you
Jordi
