Bug#443159: xserver-xorg-video-ati: Display on the external screen does not work anymore with a FireGL2

Forcing the disconnection of the S-video with xrandr does not seem to
help neither. Sometime the S-video re-appears as connected, and even
when it does not, there is still a "No valid modes" error in the log.
Anyway. I wonder if this is really the reason (note that my analysis
may be totally stupid, all this xorg.conf tweaking remains a bit of an
arcane science to me). With xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.6.3, forcing the
detection with
Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, CRT"
and the HSync and VRefresh did not help, even if there was indeed
something outputed to the external screen. As described in my initial
bug report, starting an application on the second display resulted in
a weird drawing partly on the external screen, partly on the main
screen.
Or are you assuming that this first bug was solved in the 6.7.192 and
there may be another one with the S-video ?
Cheers,
P.S. I am not so familiar with bug-reporting, hence have no idea if
that sort of not-so-clear mail should also be sent to
443159@bugs.debian.org.
