Package: xserver-xorg-video-trident Version: 1:1.2.1-3 Severity: important The computer's graphic card is an | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems XGI Volari XP5 (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) | Subsystem: Elitegroup Computer Systems Unknown device 0f56 which is supported by xserver-xorg-video-trident beginning with xorg 7.1. However it is far away from usability. Upgrade from xorg 7.0 and replacing the "Driver" directive from "vesa" to "trident", alternativly, creating a new xorg.conf while keeping in mind that discover is not yet away of that card. X freezes upon start, the last log lines are (...)

Visual effects: The external Display goes black (no signal), the internal does something I'd call "glow": It turns complete white and dims away after that. No known cure is possible but reboot. Further tests reveal: Getting X to work is possible if console framebuffer is disabled (i.e. vga=6 instead of vga=791, "CONFIG_FB_TRIDENT=y" is set) and on the external display only by setting 'Option "Display" "CRT"'. Still my remote hands reported a lot of distortion so an 'Option "NoAccel" "true"' was required, too. The situation is even more awkward since the fallback video driver vesa crashes upon start (#389429). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18.1 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xserver-xorg-video-trident depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.1.1-10 X.Org X server -- core server xserver-xorg-video-trident recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
