Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.4+4
Severity: important
After a recent upgrade the X server did no longer start up and the
system would fall back to text mode.
Here is the error message from X.org.log:
==
(==) Matched ati for the autoconfigured driver
(==) Assigned the driver to the xf86ConfigLayout
(II) LoadModule: ati
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module ati
(II) UnloadModule: ati
(EE) Failed to load module ati (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.
==
The original /etc/X11/xorg.conf was the automatically generated one
without any specifics in it. I added
==
Driver radeon
==
to the Device section.
After that the X server is working again.
Here is the output from lspci:
