Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati Version: 1:6.7.192-4 Severity: normal This driver causes very strange effects with console switching, which used to work correctly before. The system is an LG LE50 Express laptop with Radeon Xpress 200M and an external VGA monitor connected. 1. When the system starts I have kdm on the laptop panel, and the VGA monitor is in powersave mode. 2. I switch to a virtual console (vesafb). The laptop now shows garbage in the form of some jumping horizontal coloured lines which move and flicker a lot. The VGA monitor is now activated and shows the console. 3. Switching back to X restores the laptop display. Both the laptop and the VGA monitor now show the same X session (like in clone mode). (But the colours on the VGA monitor are fine, in contrast to what I had before, see bug #440174!) However xrandr just shows the following, indicating that it isn't aware that the VGA display is active: ~$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 2304 x 1024 VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 60.0*+ 800x60060.3 640x48059.9 S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 4. Switching to console now gives the same console correctly displayed on both screens. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-rc3-lg (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xserver-xorg-video-ati depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-1+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4-2X.Org X server -- core server xserver-xorg-video-ati recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The laptop now shows garbage in the form of some jumping horizontal coloured lines which move and flicker a lot. The VGA monitor is now activated and shows the console. Does it help if you drop vesafb completely? radeonfb might break things for sure, I am not sure about vesafb. 3. Switching back to X restores the laptop display.

Nice workaround :) ~$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 2304 x 1024 VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 60.0*+ 800x60060.3 640x48059.9 S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) Not nice :( And there is no way to get VGA-0 back to work at this point? (apart from unplugging/replugging it) Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(apart from unplugging/replugging it) Depends what you mean by work :-). Dual-head doesn't work with this driver version, see my comment on #439322. It does show the cloned display despite what xrandr says. But it doesn't respond to xrandr commands: ~$ xrandr --output VGA-0 --right-of LVDS (nothing happens) ~$ xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768 xrandr: cannot find mode 1024x768 Unplugging and replugging has no effect, afterwards it still shows the cloned display. I'll see if I can build from the upstream git repo... Regards, Marcus
