After recent upgrades, the X server no longer works for me: I get only
blank screen. Worse, the blankness remains even after I zap the server.

Downgrading xserver-xorg-core to 2:1.20.14-1 fixed it for me.

I'm not sure if I suffer from the same problem, but I'm seeing similar
symptoms here on my Librem mini.

I run Debian testing on this machine and since I had not rebooted it in
a while I don't know which version of Xorg I've been happily running
last, but after an `apt full-upgrade` I did a reboot and as soon as gdm
launched Xorg, the screens (I have two monitors connected) went black.
I couldn't find a way to bring the screens back to life, short of
rebooting: I tried to stop Xorg/gdm, I tried suspend+resume, I tried to
use lightdm.

I downgraded to `xserver-xorg-core/stable` and things are back
to normal.

I attach the Xorg.log from when it got me a black screen.

I've bisected this; the first bad commit is 4e670f1281ad75c5
("modesetting: Add CTM RandR property").

Reverting this commit (on top of 2:21.1.4-3) fixes the bug for me.

I still see this problem with the latest version on `testing`.

I'm sure the problem is in the kernel driver (i915) and not xserver.

In that case, the kernel version would be relevant, right?
My latest test is with kernel version 6.1.0-5.

Your logs shows:
[    70.057] (EE) dbus-core: error connecting to system bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.FileNotFound (Failed to connect to socket /run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory)
Do you have dbus-daemon installed and its server running (systemctl status dbus.service)?

You also have:
[    70.087] (EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
and
[    70.087] (EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)

you could try installing:
xserver-xorg-video-vesa
and
xserver-xorg-video-fbdev
You should really open an issue in the upstream bug tracker and give
its url here if so.

By the way how do you proceed to bisect (out of the git workflow, ie to
test than on your Debian setup each bisected version works)?

Cheers,
Alban

I think I've hit this same bug on another Intel graphics chip:
Intel Corporation Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 36)"

The system worked with bullseye, but does not work with the current state
of bookworm (blank screen after X startup, system reboot required to
restore any graphics functionality outside X as well).

I also tested the bookworm version of xorgserver-xorg-core on a 5.10 kernel
from bullseye, the issue persisted.

Xorg logs of some other reports here mention a rotated fbcon console, just
like my setup, so I also tested without rotated fbcon. No effect.

Downgrading xserver-xorg-core to the bullseye version makes graphics
visible on bookworm again.

The
Option "UseGammaLUT" "false"
workaround mentioned here fixes the blank screen issue on current bookworm.
