Bug#384361: xserver-xorg-video-ati: Driver reporting ABI version number mismatch - xserver fails to start
Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.5.8.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
This seems to of occurred for the first time sometime today, but as the
xserver is starting up it is saying that the ATI driver is reporting the
ABI version as version 0 and it is expecting 1.0. Of consequence the
driver does not load and the xserver fails to start.
I have a radeon 9200 with the Device Section of xorg.conf configured so:-
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. RV280 [Radeon 9200]"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
The log shows the following
...
(II) LoadModule: "ati"
