Bug#397438: Panel stays blank in MergedFB mode

[Joachim Breitner <nomeata@debian.org>]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.6.3-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

since 6.6.3 (I think), MergedFB does not work as expected any more. The
detection, modes, etc. everything works fine as before, but the panel
is blank.

radeotool light says, the panel backlight is on.

The Fn-F3 and Fn-F7 key does not seem to have any effect at all, not
even with BIOSHotKeys on.

This is on a T41p with  ATI Technologies Inc M10 NT [FireGL Mobility T2]

Greetings,
Joachim
