Bug#422777: bug #422777 prematurely closed? [again]
I'm rather confused as to why this bug was closed. The xcalloc patch didn't fix it [for me] and I've has no indication a[nother] solution was found. - Felix -- Felix C.

Interesting. I never really read the docs properly, I just skimmed them [= man radeon] and followed the instructions at [http://ozlabs.org/~jk/docs/mergefb/], which worked just fine. When I have the time, I'll take a look at your xorg.conf [and the man page] and try to get things working.

I tried. It didn't fix the problem. Thanks anyway. Of course, my knowledge of package building is limited [as I'm not a dd (yet)], so I could have messed something up. Here's what I did: * $ apt-get source xserver-xorg-video-ati=1:6.6.192-1 * add patch as debian/patches/03_radeon_driver.diff * add patch to debian/patches/series * $ dch -n * install build dependencies * $ dpkg-buildpackage * upgrade all xorg packages to the latest versions in unstable * $ sudo dpkg -i * restart X * [no image on CRT2] - Felix -- Felix C.

[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
doesn't involve intimate knowledge of Xorg internals), please let me
know.
