Did You try to re-install these two packages?

No. Everything seems to be running fine without them...

I thought so, too.
Weird, eh?
Here's something even weirder...
I've always had a problem with my mouse pointer jumping around the screen, for no apparent reason. For instance, I'll just be sitting here, reading a page, and the pointer will jump to the bottom, or top-left corner of the screen... whenever, wherever. It's like some poltergeist moves it on me.
It doesn't *seem* to be doing that now.
I'll keep an eye on it, and see if it's my imagination, or it's been fixed.
Hrm...
I was just checking the description of x11-xserver-utils, and it says:
Perhaps, I've been inadvertently running two (or more) mouse drivers, all these years. :confused:Quote:
An X client is a program that interfaces with an X server (almost always via
the X libraries), and thus with some input and output hardware like a
graphics card, monitor, keyboard, and pointing device (such as a mouse).
BTW, here's the extent of my xserver stable...
Working a treat, on this old dog... ;)
Xserver-utils interfaces with some hardware...
It does not mean it includes drivers.
However, xserver-xorg-input-mouse is generally not needed at all.
That is because the newer pointing device driver system, xserver-xorg-input-evdev, takes care of it.
So if you have both -mouse and -evdev packages installed, your setup will use -evdev, not -mouse package.
With proposed updates and xorg-edgers enabled there wasn't much sign that I would be able to upgrade to X Server 1.14.2 any time soon without removing anything.
Note to self of packages removed/upgraded:
The only ones I cared about keeping were xserver-xorg-video-fbdev and xserver-xorg-video-vesa, but in theory I should be able to add them again at some point.Code:paul@lubuntu-64:~$ sudo aptitude full-upgrade
The following packages will be upgraded:

Seems to work fine with 1.14.2 ;)
Hi Vin,
Yep, seems to be ok here too.
I owe you another post about the 3.11-rc1 kernel and the legacy nvidia drivers! I'll do that quickly now.
Cheers,
Paul
Yesterdays updates killed X hard for me, and various kernels worked so-so but eventually I got everything back up using yesterdays daily 3.11-kernel. Gnome-shell is smooth etc but I have the segfaulting Gimp issue...
