If this triggers new bugs on your hw, please file them 6*4882a593Smuzhiyun against the xserver. 7*4882a593Smuzhiyun 8*4882a593Smuzhiyun Continuing to use the -intel driver is possible by dropping the template 9*4882a593Smuzhiyun xorg.conf to /etc/X11: 10*4882a593Smuzhiyun 11*4882a593Smuzhiyun # cp /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-intel/xorg.conf /etc/X11 12*4882a593Smuzhiyun 13*4882a593Smuzhiyun -- Timo Aaltonen <tjaalton@debian.org> Tue, 19 Jul 2016 04:28:05 +0300 14*4882a593Smuzhiyun 15*4882a593Smuzhiyunxorg-server (2:1.17.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium 16*4882a593Smuzhiyun 17*4882a593Smuzhiyun The Xorg server is no longer setuid root by default. This change reduces the 18*4882a593Smuzhiyun risk of privilege escalation due to X server bugs, but has some side effects: 19*4882a593Smuzhiyun 20*4882a593Smuzhiyun * it relies on logind and libpam-systemd 21*4882a593Smuzhiyun * it relies on a kernel video driver (so the userspace component doesn't 22*4882a593Smuzhiyun touch the hardware directly) 23*4882a593Smuzhiyun * it needs X to run on the virtual console (VT) it was started from 24*4882a593Smuzhiyun * it changes the location for storing the Xorg log from /var/log/ to 25*4882a593Smuzhiyun ~/.local/share/xorg/ 26*4882a593Smuzhiyun 27*4882a593Smuzhiyun On systems where those are not available, the new xserver-xorg-legacy package 28*4882a593Smuzhiyun is needed to allow X to run with elevated privileges.
