ATI graphic card and Jessie.

2013-10-07 Thread Erwan David
Hello,

I am in testing, and I have a radeom 4000 graphic card. I used to use
the radeon driver but I had to switch after kernel 3.10, because I
got GUI freeze of 20 to 30 s avery 15 to 20 minutes, making it
unusable.

But now I see that fglrx-legacy is not compatible with the new
xorg. Is there a hope to get a new version, or should I use something
else than debian (changing hardware is not possible that's my work PC,
and if it does not work, use the corporate windows image).

your problem could be similar to my X300 radeon on T43

what i did:

1- install xserver-xorg-video-ati libgl1-mesa-glx firmware-linux-nonfree
2- remove xserver-xorg-video-radeon

if i remember it correctly, i also had to replace gnome 3 with mate
for a smoother desktop experience

YMMV
