Re: Regression - Xorg start failed

Damn, that issue made me really sick yesterday, as I thought the
problem arrived from my updated mesa/ddx built-from-git (I also played
with mesa's new --enable-shared-dricore configure option).

Also, I suspected x11-common package in Debian/unstable [1],
especially BR #612979 [2].

I applied the revert of commit
47970b1b2aa64464bc0a9543e86361a622ae7c03 ("pci: use security_capable()
when checking capablities during config space read") as bisected by
Dave Young. Thanks!

The only way I found was to delete several X releated dot-dirs in
/tmp. In addition the dirs created/required for a KDE-session.
Best is to kill complete /tmp/* /tmp/.* in runlevel-3 and then startx,
that made X work here.
