Aldemir,
We are trying to make sure that Xserver 1.4 is really the problem here.
So we want to know whether Xserver 1.3 works when a RandR 1.2 (such as
ATI) and another one (such as MGA) are used at the same time.
I just build a very recent snapshot of the ATI driver for testing/Lenny:
http://people.debian.org/~bgoglin/rebuilds/ati-6.7.198-Xserver1.3/
Could you test it (after downgrading to xserver-xorg-core 1.3 from
testing if necessary) and see whether it works with the MGA driver enabled
at the same time? You'll just need a config with both drivers, probably
very similar to what you had at the beginning of this bug report.
You might need to try with and without some advanced config such as
Screen 0 "Screen 1" 0 0
Screen 1 "Screen 2" RightOf "Screen 1"
in the ServerLayout section.
thanks in advance,
Brice
