Bug#671320: [Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#671320: fglrx-driver: due to dependencies, uninstallable with current xorg in sid
Hi, fglrx 12-5 will work with the new XOrg, but Support for your card is also dropped with 12-5, to be exactly with 12-5 fglrx will not work with R6xx and R7xx ASICs anymore, so you might switch to the radeon driver, now. where did you get this from? I read somewhere that AMD plans to drop support for these cards soonish, but wasn't aware that this is already going to be the case in the next version. Also, out of curiosity I wonder how you know that 12-5 will support xserver 1.12. At least now I know which vendor the GPU on my next machine will *not* be from...

I know it ;) AMD will continue a legacy driver for the older models, but this one will not support Xserver 1.12, why we have to go with the new driver on wheezy.. -- /* Mit freundlichem Gruß / With kind regards, Patrick Matthäi GNU/Linux Debian Developer E-Mail: pmatth...@debian.org patr...@linux-dev.org */ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Are these dependencies just out of caution (i.e. fglrx-driver is untested yet but it might work) or is it known not to work with the current xorg release in sid? Xorg Xserver 1.12 is not yet supported by the FGLRX driver, this needs to be fixed by AMD. (It was tested and reliably crashed, so no workarounds like IgnoreABI are possible.) Please use Xorg from wheezy (or squeeze-backports) for now. Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
