Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
I recently upgraded from Edgy to Feisty via `update-manager -c`. With
the upgrade to Feisty came X.org 7.2, which seems to have broken support
for the fglrx/ati drivers with the Radeon 9200. I can use the radeon
drivers just fine, but they don't provide any support for hardware
acceleration.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Cause of the problem:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The problem seems to lay in the fact that the Radeon 9200 registers as two PCI
addresses (one for VGA output and one for DVI output, AFAIK). While the radeon
drivers don't have a problem with it, the ati/fglrx drivers complain about
there being no Device section for the PCI address that has the Device section
that comes last. I'll change my drivers back to fglrx and post xorg.0.log soon.

Things I've tried:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
I've tried:
Swapping the order for the Device sections around
Enabling and disabling the framebuffer
Only having one Device section
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Things that might fix it for now:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Some way of 'disabling' one of the PCI addresses? This would stop xorg thinking
that there are two devices that need helping.
