** Description changed:
Binary package hint: xorg-driver-fglrx
Hi,
I'm having significant difficulty getting my Radeon 4870 with the
proprietary ATI driver. After enabling the restricted driver, when X
started, my LCD panels reported "Frequency out of range". I was,
however able to use the virtual terminals. Attempting to revert to
"/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe" or "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-
xorg" resulted in graphical corruption, the inability to switch to a
virtual terminal, and the inability to use ctrl-alt-del to reset the
system. I had to reboot with alt+sysreq+reisub.
I was able to recover by removing xorg-driver-fglrx with aptitude and
reverting xorg.conf to the failsafe.
+ LCD Panel: IISonic model IIM17F
