Re: xserver-xorg hangs with radeon / ati driver
Hi,

will only work for 6.8, it is not a constraint from xorg.
I don't think so. Since ATI drivers are proprietary, it is up to Debian to
classify the dependencies. And there are a couple of people out there
using the latest fglrx from ATI with X.Org 6.9 even though they don't
support it. Never mind, I don't need fglrx as everything works in X.Org
6.8.

I'm running X.Org 6.8 now and everything's fine, just like before the
upgrade. No more debugging necessary. I wasn't using composite.

I have 1400x1050 and 1280x1024 as ModeLine in my xorg.conf, but the vesa
driver ignores it. GNOME doesn't let me set the resolution to something
higher than 1024x768, either. How do you get 1280x1024?

Doesn't matter. I've been using 6.8 with this card (FireGL T2 Mobile) for
two months now and have had no problems. The upgrade to 6.9 _brought_ the
problem, so I downgraded again.
