Using Aptitude interactively, the ":" key (that's a colon, no quotes
of course) will "Hold" the selected package for that pass, so you can
hold xserver-xorg-core at the present version while updating
everything else. Once a fix is out, simply don't hold it anymore to
get the latest.

Which driver are you using? Gutsy includes two different drivers for

(but feature-limited) driver. The "intel" driver is newer and more
featureful (but you know what that means in terms of bugs).
I was just poking around my xorg.conf files on the just today upgraded
other xubuntu machine and it looks like the upgrade did not play with this
file. The file date is in August, when I first started using this flat
panel display. This was the same on the kubuntu machine except I kept
playing with it to get it to work so the file date is not indicative of the
upgrade.
Looks like the problem was not with xorg.conf, but with xserver-xorg-core.
Downgrading to the previous version provided a temporary fix.

This is a temporary workaround, but now aptitude wants to upgrade it. I am a
bit confused as to how to run the daily updates while excluding this one. I
know that there is a command (I don't remember it now) that tells apt to
leave it alone, but that seems it would prevent upgrading to the eventual
fix.
Any suggestions other than saying no to aptitude upgrade and the doing
individual installs of every other upgraded package?
