Sad State of ATI Driver (was xfonts-utils missing?)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I mentioned I updated my HP Pavilion zv6000 series (zv6201cl) laptop. The proprietary driver for the ATI video chip (XPRESS 200M) is still at Xorg v6.9 whereas the new Xorg is now v7.0 and Debian has made significant changes to bring the video stuff into compliance with the fhs, a move which I applaud. Well, I am back to 1024x768 instead of 1280x800 and Firefox disappeared. Sigh! - -- Fielder George Dowding, Chief Iceworm.^.

Re: [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: xfonts-utils missing?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Thank you Jaime for the assurance. There are two other flys in the ointment, to wit: a) ndiswrapper (needed for the Broadcom BCM4318 Wireless LAN Controller b) fglrx-driver (needed for the ATI video chip On the most recent up-date, I had to compile the ndiswrapper from source because the kernel also was updated. I have learned (learnt - UK :-) that compiling drivers works easily with the header files. I had no success trying with the full kernel source. (not something I do everyday). On a previous up-date xorg must have been involved, because in this most recent up-date, the fglrx-driver continued to work. Now, I see there is a major revision to xorg which seems to include free drivers (dfsg) for the ATI chip. There is a warning that the free drivers do not provide 3D (what ever that is). So, I may not need to compile a new fglrx-driver from the ATI sources anyhow. Well, we shall see. There is another hour or so of download before the fun starts. fgd.

In this case, the maintainers should change the entries of the sources.list, they tell on the debian-site. IMO then they are still in old status, and should be corrected. This would also explain, why I could install some packages and why I could build some packages. Can somebody explain the status of debian-amd64 and what are the correct entries in sources.list ?

I think it is correct, since if I have understood it correctly, amd64 is now part of unstable. As far as I can tell, aptitute automagically calls up the amd64 packages and not x86 packages.
