I attach the Xorg log of my Thinkpad T60

Repeating the test over Thinkpad T60 and R60e, both models keep with broken Xorg.

Xorg doesn't able to detect the screen, showing the error

Fatal server error: no screens found.

The libpciaccess0 version is 0.16-1+hurd.6 , and xorg version is 1:7.7+21

Ok. After doing some tests in my Thinkpad T410, I've checked that Xorg works, but with limitations.

In Xfce, the Application menu doesn't work (when you press the button, it doesn't show anything).

In LXDE, the desktop doesn't load.

The only one which works correctly is Openbox.

Now I have to repeat the test on other machines, like T60 or R60e, to check if this is a machine-related issue, or a Xorg problem.

Thanks for the advice!!

I will test It over real hardware, in my Thinkpad machines.

It takes time for packages to end up on mirrors etc.

At some point I was receiving error like: InRelease file still invalid for 7 hours... or something similar on apt-get update.

It turned out my date was behind one day... not sure why, I was keeping the virtual machine on, while the host was sleeping for 1 day...

might be linked to that. Yeah, it probably is.

Well, I did set the date with date command and after that it was ok.

I am happy to report the new libpciaccess made Xorg works!

Some errors I thought was the cause of the error seems not that important after all:

From working Xorg.0.log:

Like I thought fbdevhw was important... unsure how much it is now.

When run, the screen is black, which I believe is normal for OpenBox.

There is a right-click menu... I can open Dillo web browser, the terminal, etc.

Sadly when I quit openbox, Xorg continue to run and so the black screen stay there and I cannot do much anything after that.

With ssh, I can su to root, and kill Xorg, which finally returns the program to console.

I tend to try Ctrl-Atl-F2 to change to console, but it is not grabbed by qemu, so it change on my host rather than in the virtual machine.

But Thank you very much for the update!
