Planned transition: xserver
The transition of X-related packages and their dependencies will start in the next days:
https://release.debian.org/transitions/ ... r1.18.html
One way of getting through this without problems is to simply wait until the transition is over.
The other way is to monitor closely what is going to be replaced and removed.
Manually removing those xserver-xorg-video-*** packages that are anyway not used by your system (this will remove the meta-package xorg, and that's okay) can bring you through the transition quicker. Experience has shown that the xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion package is lagging behind.
Just to clarify: this is a planned transition, so problems with regards to X that you are experiencing before 2016 Jan. 9 are not necessarily related to the affected packages.

Re: Planned transition: xserver
Just finished with a d-u on BREAK!, no x stuff were to be removed so I went through with it. Rebooted and things looks ok. :) But when i checked my vanilla Debian install it still wanted to remove a handful of x packages. So I decided to wait and follow that up during the weekend.
Re: Planned transition: xserver
Did a d-u on my plain Debian installs, one 32 and one 64bit. They both rebooted fine. So far, so good...
Re: Planned transition: xserver
dist-upgrade of an old Popcorn install - no problems.

Re: Planned transition: xserver
MB: no, i don't know. Honestly i'm not even sure if it's because of xserver transition (for the lack of similar hardware at my disposal). Perhaps it only affects my i965, anyway i'll test it again tomorrow on different hardware just to make sure.
^ and mpv too i believe, but it's only for opengl backend iIrc
EDIT: apparently the current mpv/mplayer issue is only affecting me when only using default (opengl) backend on X. Switching to vo=vaapi fixed it. Ah well... at least it worked.
EDIT2: ah apparently it was a configuration issue, been around since novmber on amd/ati cards. Used to be no problem on intel cards until recent transition. Fixed. Reference : https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=803498
