Thanks for 1500 downloads! :)

Just downloaded this, installed it, and tried to dist-upgrade. It worked (after ~250M of upgrades, and with xserver-xorg-core and the kernel still on hold.)

When I took xserver-xorg-core and the kernel off hold and upgraded it, my keyboard and mouse were dead in X. I had to add my user to the "input" group, and then everything worked normally again.

So it is still possible to upgrade this one with a little work.

^ invaluable info, thank you for testing and reporting.

I actually ran into similar, I did the - install xorg-server-legacy thing to fix X.

Excellent!! Thanks for the update headsup lads!! Just moved back to Hongcouver, Canada after being deported for raising too much shit with corrupt Indonesian police and got a refurbished Lenovo 64-bit so trying this and La-penis-envy.

Downloaded, dded to usb, installed to external hd, dist-upgraded with siduction kernel and rebooted. X still on hold though.

^ Thanks for testing. I am assuming it worked when you rebooted? (: If you want to try with xserver-xorg-core off hold, add your user to the "input" group before starting X.

(edit) just tried a dist-upgrade of a new install (and upgrade to the 4.7 Debian kernel) with my user in the input group and xserver-xorg-core off old, and it still works.

Yes it works very well. Nice to see that it is still upgradable. Thanks again for this box release. :)

Edit:Upgraded X, trouble as expected. Tried with "input" first, still trouble. Did the fix that wux mentions above, and got things working again. :)

^ What graphics are you using vic, and exactly what kind of trouble did you have? I am using intel graphics and did not need server-legacy.

X just would not start. But after installing server-legacy and changing the Xwrapper.config it is working agin. Here is output:
Anyway, nice to see that it is still upgradable after nearly a year.

^ Good to know. Thanks again for testing.
