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.
