Bug#308610: [ati] monitor does not sync irrespective of config
package: xserver-xfree86
version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12
severity: important
Monitor does not sync with ATI irrespective of Debian config.
I need to keep both xserver-common xserver-xfree86 on hold to run sarge
with X. I have tried purging these packages and reinstalling them.
ImPS/2 mouse changed to invalid (for 4.2) IntelliMouse so mouse does not
work after I downgrade back to version 4.2.1-12.1 again.
I have this problem with the ati driver on both sparc64 and powerpc.
Parameters given were published monitor specs and various conservative
specs were also given.
Other drivers may work, but the accelerated driver is needed for the on
board display.
I can reproduce this on a SunBlade100 with : -
sparc:/var/cache/apt# /etc/init.d/xdm start
Starting X display manager: xdm.
:
Monitor did not sync
:
sparc:/var/cache/apt# /etc/init.d/xdm stop
Stopping X display manager: xdm.
sparc:/var/cache/apt# dpkg -i xserver-common_4.2.1-12.1_sparc.deb xserver-xfree86_4.2.1-12.1_sparc.deb
dpkg - warning: downgrading xserver-common from 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12 to 4.2.1-12.1.

sparc:/var/cache/apt# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

:
And X works again!
