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*+ 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 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 2:1.4-2 X.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".
