Bug#481529: xserver-xorg: Unusable after last upgrade (maybe wrong refresh rates?)
Hi Brice,
as I still had the same problem, I put the line:
Option "DRI" "off"
in the Device section of the xorg.conf file.
This might not be the optimal solution, but at least I can now use X. xrandr gives me the following output:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1200
VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-0 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 376mm x 310mm
1280x1024 60.0*+ 75.0 59.9
1280x960 59.9
1152x864 75.0 74.8
1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0
1024x768_60.00 60.0
832x624 74.6
800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 75.0 72.8 66.7 60.0
720x400 70.1
640x400 69.2
S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you have an idea of the cause of this problem ? If you need more informations, don't hesitate,
Dimitri
