Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati Version: 1:6.7.196-2 Severity: normal The external VGA monitor attached to my laptop sometimes ends up with a distorted screen that is black except for a mouse cursor, which shows as a thin white vertical bar about five cm high.
This sometimes happens if I kill the X server with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. The built-in LCD panel then shows kdm but the VGA monitor shows the distortion. Switching to text console and back, or restarting the X server, does not help. I could only restore the display by rebooting. The bug occurs quite rarely so I don't know how to reproduce it reliably, but I have observed it a few times now. The system is an LG LE50 Express laptop with Radeon Xpress 200M, kernel 2.6.24-rc4 (i386). I use vesafb on the text consoles. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-rc4-lg (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xserver-xorg-video-ati depends on: ii libc6 2.7-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4.1~git20071119-1 Xorg X server - core server xserver-xorg-video-ati recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
