Bug#422777: xserver-xorg: MergedFB CRT2 Clone stopped working after reboot

However, in the end it might be better to wait for the next official release of the ATI driver before upgrading to xserver-xorg-core 1.3. Upgrading to 1:6.6.192-1 in experimental was the right thing for me: I was unable to get dual-head (via MergedFB) to work with the current packages in testing. ...So please upload that package to the regular archive soon! :) I now have a working dual-head configuration on my Sony Vaio PCG-Z1RSP (Radeon Mobility M6 LY): The 1400x1050 panel of the laptop is the primary screen, an external LCD is driven at 1280x1024. Previously, X11 always complained on startup that it was unable to find any working modes for the external LCD, and switched off MergedFB.

I may have updated Xorg more than once between reboots (and rarely
restart X other than on reboot). I am however quite sure I
haven't installed, removed or reconfigured Xorg packages recently
other than during aptitude upgrades or aptitude dist-upgrades.
Also, I rebooted sometime in the last two weeks without problems,
so it must be a problem with a recent Xorg update. [yes, I
aptitude up{date,grade} more or less weekly]
I hope someone can help me out here, since I have no idea
whatsoever how to fix this (other than attempting some Xorg
downgrades, but that's hardly fixing). If there's anything I
can do myself (that doesn't involve intimate knowledge of Xorg
internals), please let me know.
Some similar breakage have been reported with the old ATI driver and
the new xserver-xorg-core 1.3. You could possibly try upgrading
xserver-xorg-video-ati to the one currently in experimental
(1:6.6.191-1). However, in the end it might be better to wait for

[Sorry about the late reply, my inbox is overflowing ...]
Thanks. I've pinned xserver-xorg-core to testing for now.

Bug#422777: xserver-xorg: MergedFB CRT2 Clone stopped working after reboot
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.2-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
When I rebooted my laptop (Apple iBook G4) this morning, the second
screen remained blank. The Xorg.0.log config file shows No valid
mode found for CRTC2, disabling MergedFB. I haven't changed my
xorg.conf since 2006-11-21, so I'm pretty sure it's related to a
recent Xorg update. I can't be sure which one since I may have
updated Xorg more than once between reboots (and rarely restart X
other than on reboot). I am however quite sure I haven't installed,
removed or reconfigured Xorg packages recently other than during
aptitude upgrades or aptitude dist-upgrades. Also, I rebooted
sometime in the last two weeks without problems, so it must be a
problem with a recent Xorg update. [yes, I aptitude up{date,grade}
more or less weekly]
I hope someone can help me out here, since I have no idea whatsoever
how to fix this (other than attempting some Xorg downgrades, but
that's hardly fixing). If there's anything I can do myself (that

Some similar breakage have been reported with the old ATI driver and the
new xserver-xorg-core 1.3. You could possibly try upgrading
xserver-xorg-video-ati to the one currently in experimental
(1:6.6.191-1). However, in the end it might be better to wait for the
next official release of the ATI driver before upgrading to
xserver-xorg-core 1.3.
