Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati Version: 1:6.7.198~git20071223.ad3325f6-1 Severity: normal Since upgrading from the early 6.6.x series, I'm no longer able to switch resolutions with Ctrl+Alt+(+/-).
I don't know whether it is still supposed to work these days. Given that we can very easily have different resolutions of multiple screens with the new driver, I don't know what would be supposed to happen when you hit Ctrl+Alt+(+/-).
At least, I guess you can switch resolution with xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 or so?
On a probably related note, if I start xawtv for the first time and
switch to fullscreen mode, it will switch to 640x480 (but uncentered).
After that, any attempt to launch xawtv will result in failure:
This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.21-2-k7)
xinerama 0: 1024x768+0+0

Major opcode of failed request: 136 (XFree86-DGA)

I get this the first time I start xawtv after booting :) I don't know whether it works with earlier versions here.
