Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-driver-ati
I'm using an HP Compaq NW8240 notebook with an ATI Mobility FireGL
V5000 PCIE chipset. Under 6.10, I could use either the ati driver or
the fglrx driver to have both widescreen and normal resolutions from
1920x1200 down to 640x480. In 7.04 the OSS ati driver seems to suffer
from an inability to use any resolution other than 1920x1200. It seems
to autodetect all the resolutions my notebook supports, but setting
any resolution other than 1920x1200 results the screenshot I'm about
to attach, along with my xorg.conf.
The fglrx driver enabled by Restricted Drivers Manager works just fine
(although no AIGLX support with that). With the ATI driver I do get
both hardware accel and AIGLX, I'm just stuck with that one resolution
