Hello. Following an install of wheezy using debian-wheezy-DI-b2-i386-netinst.iso, I reported bug #687136:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=687136 concerning xserver freezes with corruption of the screen at every boot. The GPU is identified thus: [AMD] nee ATI Turks [Radeon HD 6570] Subsystem: XFX Pine Group Inc. Device 3190 Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 16 Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at fe7c0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] I/O ports at b000 [size=256] Expansion ROM at fe7a0000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [58] Express Legacy Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [a0] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [100] Vendor Specific Information: ID=0001 Rev=1 Len=010 <?> Capabilities: [150] Advanced Error Reporting The bug was originally reported against firmware-linux-nonfree, but was reassigned to linux-image-3.2.0-3-686-pae. I've been doing my best to investigate since then and found some sources which suggest that 3D support for this card was added only as of libdrm_radeon-2.4.34. As far as I can tell no version more recent than libdrm_radeon-2.4.33 is available in any Debian repository. Would it be possible for someone here to confirm or disconfirm this conjecture so that I can correct/update the bug report? Thanks very much, Jim PS If there is a way for me to hand-compile a more recent version of libdrm_radeon that might allow the machine to boot without freezing up, I would really appreciate a link or some pointers. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
