Package: fglrx-driver
Version: 8.40.4-2
Severity: normal


I just tried an update from 8.40.4 to 8.42.3 and discovered that 
my hardware (a FireGL V3200) is no longer supported by the new version. 
One gets an 
                (EE) No devices detected 
error in the xserver log.  

Comparing  <http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.40.4.html> and
<http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.42.3.html> it seems  
that unfortunately quite a lot of hardware was dropped. 

Is it possible to warn users before an update?
Anyway, the package description should be updated. It still lists 
the hardware supported by version 8.40.4

Many thanks for the time you dedicate to Debian!

Version: 8.42.3-3

        Hi !

This bug was fixed with 8.42.3-3, although it might not be a good solution 
(add pci ids to the list of supported pcis for the module), it was reported 
to work by some users...
