Package: xserver-xorg-video-all
Version: 7.3+10
Severity: wishlist
It looks like for ATI Radeon cards, xserver-xorg-video-all pulls in
xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd, but not xserver-xorg-video-radeon. That's
fine for rv500 or newer cards (I have no idea what the pros/cons of
radeon vs. radeonhd are, but Debian preferring one seems fine), but my
rv370 is only supported with the 'radeon' driver. It's not current
hardware, but the rv3xx/4xx series was quite widespread and only
discontinued in 2005, so doesn't seem that unreasonable to support out
of the box: xserver-xorg-video-all pulls in drivers for considerably
more obscure hardware. Since 'radeon' and 'radeonhd' don't appear to
conflict, is it possible to pull in both?
Not a *huge* deal, but I'm used to xserver-xorg-video-all pulling in any
driver that I might reasonably need, and on this machine it didn't, so
filing a wishlist request.
Thanks,
Mark

Hmm, it seems it actually does depend on xserver-xorg-video-ati, which
depends on xserver-xorg-video-radeon. No idea why I didn't have 'radeon'
installed on my system then; I must've borked something at some point in
the past. Closing this spurious report; sorry.
