In Debian Lenny, X server use to correctly load the video driver
(mach64_drv.so) for my VGA card:
debian:~# lspci -v | grep VGA
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility
P/M (rev 64) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
After upgrading to Squeeze, X server defaults to vesa driver
(vesa_drv.so) isntead, in spite of knowing that ati driver is the
correct driver for this card:
debian:~# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep driver
X.Org XInput driver : 7.0
(==) Matched ati as autoconfigured driver 0
(==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 1
(==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 2
(==) Assigned the driver to the xf86ConfigLayout
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vesa_drv.so
(II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa
debian:~#
So how do I tell X to load the ati driver? Explicitly specify it in
xorg.conf file? Currently, I there is no such file in /etc/X11
directory.
