I think it was just the driver. As I said, 3D wasn't working for me
anyway.

Hope it works for you!

Hey All,

  m-a a-i fglrx

After reboot, my only usable resolution (1600x1050) is unavailable.
Even the Catalyst control center believes it's not there.  Xorg.conf was
unchanged, so I doubt that was it.

Any ideas on the cause? Suggestions? I can certainly live without 3D
support if the solution is to revert to the kernel module from Apt,
although I'd need some direction on how to do that.

Thanks!

Hello, David

in case you use amd64 branch can you show your xorg.conf file, because 
my X did't start after installing fglrx-driver-8.44.3-1.

I had a similar experience a week or so ago with an X1400 on my Thinkpad
Z61M. (I had 2D running previously, not 3D.) I fetched the previous
version of the driver from the AMD Catalyst site and installed it after
purging the Debian package. The script said there was an error of some
kind but nevertheless fglrx worked again at 1600x1050 in 2D.

Hi Georgi,

I do have an AMD64 system, and I'm attaching my xorg.conf.  It was
generated by the aticonfig program and has an external monitor
configured.

I hope it helps,
David

ATI X1600 Radeon Missing 1600x1050 Resolution After fglrx Upgrade

2008-01-05 Thread David Jantzen
Hey All,

I installed some upgrades yesterday to my testing/unstable installation.
The relevant packages changed (as far as I understand) were:

  fglrx-control
  fglrx-driver
  fglrx-kernel-src

Apt uninstalled my kernel module compiled for 3D support, and so I
recompiled and installed again from the new source with  

  m-a a-i fglrx

After reboot, my only usable resolution (1600x1050) is unavailable.
Even the Catalyst control center believes it's not there.  Xorg.conf was
unchanged, so I doubt that was it.

Any ideas on the cause? Suggestions? I can certainly live without 3D
support if the solution is to revert to the kernel module from Apt,
although I'd need some direction on how to do that.

Thanks!
David

Perhaps this item from the release notes:
