SOLVED: /xorg-video-abi-24 transition

For those of us in 5.3  - testing - buster -
Just a heads up to watch your full-upgrades a little more closely when the

transition arrives in a few days probably after the brave folks in sid (unstable) have looked at it. 

It will probably not affect many (if at all) but if it does it means using a tty terminal (Ctl-Alt-F1  F2  to F6) and the command line.   

I will watch closely as I use Virtualbox for my virtual windoze 7.  Note the "collisions" at the bottom of the transitions.html  Users on nvidia might have a greater potential for problems than intel gpus. 

And a thread from sid users about how it went in sid-unstable.

Hopefully all the bugs are gone before it hits testing.  The vast majority of us will have no problems.
peace out
