Ok, Xserver 1.5 from experimental installed:
ii xserver-xorg 1:7.4~4
the X.Org X server
ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.5.2-1
Xorg X server - core server
ii xserver-xorg-video-radeon
1:6.9.0+git20081012.c0e6cb6d-1 X.Org X server -- ATI Radeon display
driver
I found that Xserver 1.5 didn't find my keyboard. Had to add
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
to ServerLayout.
GNOME fonts seem very big too, at least comparing with Xserver 1.4
from lenny. Icewease GUI fonts are big too, but webpage font
rendering is good.
Finally, although external monitor seems to be configured to 1360x768,
it is saying that mode is not compatible and I see nothing, so maybe
there's some problem with the refresh rate. I have tested to move a
big window around all virtual screen to see whether there is some A
area on LVDS, and there is not. xrandr confirms it:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2560 x 800, maximum 2560 x 1360
VGA-0 connected 1360x768+1200+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y
axis) 410mm x 256mm
1360x768 60.0*+ 59.8
1152x864 60.0
1024x768 75.1 75.0 70.1 60.0
832x624 74.6
800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3
640x480 75.0 72.8 72.8 75.0 60.0 59.9
720x400 70.1
None connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
1360x768 59.8
1152x864 60.0
1024x768 60.0
800x600 60.3
640x480 59.9
LVDS connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
261mm x 163mm
1280x800 60.0*+
1024x768 60.0
800x600 60.3
640x480 59.9
And a snippet from Xorg.0.log:
(EE) RADEON(0): Mode 1360x768+1280+0 does not fit virtual size
2560x1360 - offset updated to +1200+0
Maybe there's some kind of limit in 2560px width in the hw or driver?
Anyway this version only has produced a black external monitor :)
Tests with radeonhd driver:
ii xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd 1.2.3-1
X.Org X server -- AMD/ATI r5xx, r6xx display driver
Driver insisted puting 1360x768 on LVDS/PANEL, had to force 1280x800
in xorg.conf. Renamed VGA-0 to VGA_1, LVDS to PANEL.
Works flawlesly although system fonts seem a bit smaller than with
Xserver 1.4 (maybe this is a effect of viewing the bigs fonts with
radeon driver). No A nor B areas, external monitor shows perfect
image. xrandr:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2640 x 800, maximum 2640 x 2560
VGA_1 connected 1360x768+1280+0 410mm x 256mm

So definitely not a hw limit. Seems a radeon driver issue?
Thanks a lot.
