Bug#496576: Bad screen resolution detection on Thinkpad T60p/amd64/ATI V5250



Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.4.2-3

Summary: Lenny X server with proprietory ATI driver gets resolution wrong


After upgrading from etch to lenny on my Thinkpad T60p with a 
proprietary ATI driver for the FireGL 5250 card, the X server
apparently does not detect the screen resolution properly,
and that seems to be the reason for my xdm login screen and
some other programs showing really tiny fonts.

According to Julien Cristau, the xserver-xorg-core package might
be the right place to file this bug. Even though the V5250 driver
is proprietory, the resulting usability issue and the expected
trouble of users to handle it after lenny is out might be
a reason to do something about it.
