I am stumbling through the move from Sarge to testing. I have managed
to get gdm to start but if I switch to a console I lose the window and
must restart gdm. Equally frustrating, my Wacom tablet mouse is not
recognized though it worked perfectly in Sarge and the wacom module is
installed.
This may be because I have not yet installed x-window-system-core.
Apt-get reports that this package and 457 other packages are not
installed as they cannot be verified. Should I go ahead and install
them anyway?
Which archive signing keys are known to your apt-key? Post the output of
"apt-key list" and the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file, then
we can tell you which ones are missing (and how to install them). I
would first try to complete the upgrade and install all packages before
addressing the X problem.

Florian's comments led me to recognize the link to ftp.nerim.net might
be the problem. I commented out and was able to complete the upgrade
though I still had to purge glibc-doc to resolve a conflict.
After completing the upgrade I had no X-windows at all. strace
/etc/init.d/gdm restart revealed no gdm in /usr/bin. I found it in
/usr/sbin and was able to start the program from there. I can now
switch back and forth between X-windows (Ctl-Alt-F7) and consoles
(Ctl-Alt-F1, etc) with no problems.
The Wacom mouse still does not work. I found and installed
xserver-xorg-input-wacom but this has not helped. The Debian Changelog
in /usr/share/doc/wacom-tools seems to indicate unresolved problems. I
will wait for new updates.
