Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.7.192-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi,
today I upgraded my unstable system and with it came Xorg 7.3 including
xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.6.193-3. After restarting the XServer I had a
garbaged display and couldn't access the second monitor-part. I'm
running a pretty usual Xinerama setup on a Radeon Mobility 9200, with
the external monitor being a CRT. I'm _not_ using the MergedFB mode as
that doesn't work reliably.
As you can see from this report I also tried to upgrade to the
experimental version, but that one doesn't have proper dependecies and
didn't upgrade the rest of X11. Obviously that rest is needed for the
experimental version, I got a segfault when trying to start X11 with
that.
So the only solution was to downgrade the whole X11 to the Etch version
(video-ati == 1:6.6.3-2) to get a usable system again.
I'm attaching my xorg.conf
Andreas

This mode isn't supported in recent versions. Use dynamic configuration
with xrandr 1.2 instead.
