Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati Version: 1:6.6.193-3 Severity: serious sid's xserver-xorg-video-ati (and also in experimental) no longer supports MergedFB. Thus, it is no longer possible to address the two ports without RandR. Since RandR is incompatible with Xinerama, and RandR 1.2 does not yet support multiple cards (RandR supposedly will), the new ATI driver thus breaks all Xinerama setups which use more than one graphics card. I know RandR is the way to go, but I am still filing this bug for posterity. I also made it RC because I don't think that this version should become part of stable. Instead, RandR 1.3 should enter stable so that multihead continues to work as before, without serious regressions. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xserver-xorg-video-ati depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4-3 Xorg X server - core server xserver-xorg-video-ati recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
