Bug#793442: xserver-xorg-video-ati: screen not starting after install of the open source ati drivers

Bug#420628: xserver-xorg-core: mergeFB does not work anymore with ati drivers
Eric Valette wrote: The same config file was working with previous version. Th problem is that it find non compatible mode between LVDS and external monitor while it was finding one previouly. As a result, the display on LCD is only partial as resolution is 1280x1024, wre the virtual is 1400x1050. According to http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-April/024120.html, xserver-xorg-core 1.3 breaks some things in the ATI driver. So you'll have to wait for the next release of the ATI driver, or revert to the old xserver-xorg-core 1.1.1 (still in testing or stable/etch). Also, you could possibly try with the 6.6.191 ATI driver currently in experimental just in case, but I guess it will not change anything.

That's really disappointing but not my top priority. My top priority is to get my secondary PCI cards working again. I realized after I sent that message that my main concern is actually not in the ati driver itself but in xf86Bus.c: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5443#c64 So just replacing the ati driver isn't going to help. -- greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

ati drivers
Given that the 7.0 ATI drivers are so completely borked and lots of people have reported compiling the driver from the CVS source, surely some people have built actual debian packages of the ATI driver from CVS source? Is such a beast available somewhere? Alternatively, what exactly is the procedure to built just this driver from CVS source? Did you just check out the ATI driver source from x.org and drop in the debian directory directly? -- greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#354221: xserver-xorg: Confirm freezing of Radeon with recent ati drivers
Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.0.12 Followup-For: Bug #354221 I have what sounds like the same bug. It's been present since x.org 6.9.0 Every time I boot x.org since then I can expect the system to freeze within 5-10 minutes of starting X. No logs, machine can not be accessed over the network, ctrl-alt-del does not work, turning off the power is the only solution. This is a very serious bug to me, it makes ATI driver useless for any serious use. I have verified that this bug existed in x.org 7.0 as well. initialy I downgraded to 6.8.2, later I used fglrx drivers which still worked. However, there don't seem to be any fglrx drivers for x.org 7.0, so now I'm reduced to working under vesafb driver, which doesn't support resolutions I want. Please, PLEASE, do something about this bug. Feel free to contact me at my address for any testing or additional information which could help resolve this bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xserver-xorg depends on: ii debconf 1.4.72 Debian configuration management sy ii x11-common 1:7.0.12X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc ii xbase-clients1:7.0.0-3 miscellaneous X clients ii xkb-data 0.8-5 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii xserver-xorg-core1:1.0.2-4 X.Org X server -- core server ii xserver-xorg-input-evdev [xs 1:1.0.0.5-2 X.Org X server -- evdev input driv ii xserver-xorg-input-kbd [xser 1:1.0.1.3-2 X.Org X server -- keyboard input d ii xserver-xorg-input-mouse [xs 1:1.0.4-2 X.Org X server -- mouse input driv ii xserver-xorg-video-ati [xser 1:6.5.7.3-3 X.Org X server -- ATI display driv ii xserver-xorg-video-fbdev [xs 1:0.1.0.5-2 X.Org X server -- fbdev display dr ii xserver-xorg-video-vesa [xse 1:1.0.1.3-2 X.Org X server -- VESA display dri ii xserver-xorg-video-vga [xser 1:4.0.0.5-2 X.Org X server -- VGA display driv ii xserver-xorg-video-voodoo [x 1:1.0.0.5-2 X.Org X server -- Voodoo display d Versions of packages xserver-xorg recommends: ii discover1 1.7.18hardware identification system ii laptop-detect 0.12.1attempt to detect a laptop ii mdetect0.5.2.1 mouse device autodetection tool ii xresprobe 0.4.23debian1 X Resolution Probe -- debconf information: * xserver-xorg/multiple_possible_x-drivers: * xserver-xorg/config/monitor/use_sync_ranges: true * xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/port: /dev/input/mice * xserver-xorg/config/monitor/lcd: true * xserver-xorg/autodetect_monitor: true * xserver-xorg/config/display/default_depth: 24 * xserver-xorg/config/display/modes: 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480 * xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/keyboard/internal: * xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/keyboard/options: ctrl:nocaps * xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/zaxismapping: true * xserver-xorg/config/device/use_fbdev: true * xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/keyboard/variant: * xserver-xorg/config/nonnumeric_string_error: * xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/keyboard/layout: us * xserver-xorg/config/monitor/identifier: Generic Monitor * xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/emulate3buttons: true * xserver-xorg/autodetect_mouse: true * xserver-xorg/config/monitor/horiz-sync: 28-51 * xserver-xorg/config/monitor/range_input_error: * xserver-xorg/config/write_dri_section: true * xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model: pc104 * xserver-xorg/config/device/driver: vesa * xserver-xorg/config/monitor/selection-method: Advanced * xserver-xorg/config/write_files_section: true * xserver-xorg/config/monitor/mode-list: 1024x768 @ 60Hz * xserver-xorg/config/doublequote_in_string_error: xserver-xorg/config/monitor/screen-size: 17 inches (430 mm) * shared/default-x-server: xserver-xorg * xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/protocol: ImPS/2 * shared/no_known_x-server: * xserver-xorg/config/device/bus_id_error: * xserver-xorg/config/monitor/vert-refresh: 43-60 * xserver-xorg/autodetect_keyboard: false xserver-xorg/config/fontpath/fontserver: * xserver-xorg/config/modules: bitmap, dbe, ddc, dri, extmod, freetype, glx, int10, record, type1, vbe * xserver-xorg/config/device/video_ram: * xserver-xorg/config/device/identifier: ATI Technologies, Inc.
