Bug#663653: fglrx-driver loads intel driver which doesn't find a configured screen



Dear Pedro,


thank you very much for your answer. Unfortunately Thomas probably did
not get your reply since you did not put him into CC. You can avoid that
problem by downloading all messages belonging to that report

    $ sudo aptitude install devscripts
    $ bts show --mbox 663653

and import the mbox file under `~/.devscripts-cache/bts/663653.mbox`
into Icedove. Then just do a reply to all to the appropriate message.
That would be awesome.

What laptop do you have? Maybe also attach or paste the output of
`lspci`.

Could you attach `/var/log/Xorg.0.log` please?

Oh, so the brightness was just turned down. Nice one! Great you found
it.

`xserver-xorg-video-intel` 2:2.19.0-4 in Debian Wheezy/testing is
compiled with SNA support. You have to enable it though. For example
create `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-local.conf` with the following content.

    Section "Device";
        Identifier "Device0";
        Driver "intel";
        Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
    EndSection


Thanks,

Paul


PS: I still do not know what the error is. Could someone give a short
explanation, please?
