Package: fglrx-driver Version: 1:8-12-4 Severity: wishlist The fglrx-driver in Lenny works very well with my card: ATI Radeon Xpress 200M 5955 based on ATI's chip RC410. I've had no problems. However, ATI/AMD stopped supporting this card in their driver versions greater than 9-3. I've also used the open-source radeon driver successfully with this card, though I have to say the 3D performance is worse and what is very important the laptop doesn't wake up from suspend or hibernate!. This problem remains in the newest version of the the package xserver-xorg-video-radeon, as can be evidenced from this Ubuntu bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/305301
Is there the possibility of including the 9-3 fglrx-driver as a 'legacy' non-free package (similar to the nvidia legacy drivers) for future releases? -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27.37-ac.1-amd64 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages fglrx-driver depends on: ii fglrx-glx 1:8-12-4 proprietary libGL for the non-free ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdrm2 2.3.1-2 Userspace interface to kernel DRM ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 7.0.3-7 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.3-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii xserver-xorg 1:7.3+20 the X.Org X server Versions of packages fglrx-driver recommends: ii fglrx-atieventsd 1:8-12-4 external events daemon for the non ii fglrx-glx 1:8-12-4 proprietary libGL for the non-free ii fglrx-glx-ia32 1:8-12-4 proprietary libGL for the non-free ii fglrx-kernel-2.6 1:8-12-4+2.6.26-19 ATI binary kernel module for Linux ii fglrx-kernel-2.6 1:8-12-4+2.6.27.37~ac.1 ATI binary kernel module for Linux ii fglrx-source 1:8-12-4 kernel module source for the non-f Versions of packages fglrx-driver suggests: pn fglrx-control <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
