package: xserver-xfree86 version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12 severity: important Monitor does not sync with ATI irrespective of Debian config.
I need to keep both xserver-common xserver-xfree86 on hold to run sarge with X. I have tried purging these packages and reinstalling them. ImPS/2 mouse changed to invalid (for 4.2) IntelliMouse so mouse does not work after I downgrade back to version 4.2.1-12.1 again. I have this problem with the ati driver on both sparc64 and powerpc. Parameters given were published monitor specs and various conservative specs were also given. Other drivers may work, but the accelerated driver is needed for the on board display. I can reproduce this on a SunBlade100 with : - sparc:/var/cache/apt# /etc/init.d/xdm start Starting X display manager: xdm. : Monitor did not sync : sparc:/var/cache/apt# /etc/init.d/xdm stop Stopping X display manager: xdm. sparc:/var/cache/apt# dpkg -i xserver-common_4.2.1-12.1_sparc.deb xserver-xfree86_4.2.1-12.1_sparc.deb dpkg - warning: downgrading xserver-common from 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12 to 4.2.1-12.1.
