Hi,
That means that AMD will not support Linux and X anymore? Is it better
to use the opensource driver?
I checked, and the kernel has not been updated. The problem is that I
didn't use the package system for the ATI drivers. I downloaded them
directly from the AMD webpage.
I do not know what is broken but I think that the easiest and fastest
is to wipe the installation and install wheezy from scratch.
Does ATI drivers work with wheezy? It seem that the bug (
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=671320 ) has been
resolved.
The bug seems to be closed, but I didn't find much information here:
