I have done a series of installations, trying to find the offending package.

First run the installation up to the question about language support, then switch to tty2 and use apt-install/apt-setup to manually install packages.

Test 1
install and setup xresprobe: no problem, then install intel: colored blocks (setup intel was not needed to get the blocks)

Test 2
install and setup intel: no problem, then install and setup xresprobe: still no problem

Test 3
install and setup xresprobe: no problem, then install and setup xserver-xorg-core (from tribe 5 cd): still no problem, then install and setup intel: still no problem.

I have done test 1 and 3 earlier this week, with the same result.

So I think I would need to use a set of smaller X packages, with less dependencies, to test the patch correctly.
