Thank You for Your time and answer, Camaleón: Yes, KDE3/4 (both) have nice tools (system settings/display or krandtray), even better (more complete) than the GNOME counterpart for setting up the screen resolution :-) Yes, it did solve my problem.

Re: xserver-testing issues.
Thank You for Your time and answer, Camaleón: As per display resolution... let's see what can be done. In brief: you are using the radeon driver and have 2 monitors attached to the card. With no xorg.conf your system is happier but your display uses a lower resolution, okay... I need additional clarification in some points: - What is the setup you want? Dual screen in clone mode or xinerama mode? Only one screen enabled and the other disabled (off)? One (bigger) is enabled, lesser - disabled. I turn off the lesser head of the v-card w/ xrandr.

Re: xserver-testing issues.
Thank You for Your time and answer, Camaleón:
If you are using squeeze, /etc/default/keyboard.conf should
contain the same settings you had specified in your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf for the keyboard:
#xorg.conf
Option XkbModel pc105
Option XkbLayout us,de
Option XkbVariantwinkeys
Option XkbOptionsgrp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll
Now in the form:
#keyboard.conf
XKBMODEL=pc105
XKBLAYOUT=us,de
XKBVARIANT=winkeys
XKBOPTIONS=grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll
Don't forget to remove (or comment #) the old settings from your
xorg.conf so they don't collide.
I use only several packages from testing - some of: xserver, alsa,
kernel - all in attempt to solve my sound/keyboard/3D -problems.
Still keyboard does not work correctly - mainly,
delete/control/alt/cursor - keys.
Having removed the doubled strings in both files - keyboard stopped
switching layouts - only the led turning on/off remained.
You have to run aplay -l, it should display the all your outputs,
for example:
After I have install the very same kernel (version) from testing
(before was from backports) - I have seen the card devices again and
made them working w/ the following:
$ cat .asoundrc
# ALSA library configuration file
# Include settings that are under the control of asoundconf(1).
# (To disable these settings, comment out this line.)
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
Now, it seems that the card is not fully represented in alsamixer -
very few controls are there. Also, PCM control does not work - though
is present there.
$ aplay -L

Farther, I do not know what to do. - May I have to file up a bug
report against it? - But against what? - I know that testing is not
the same as stable, but may others can meet the same problem
upgrading froim lenny to squeeze.
Try fisrt by following the alsasound tip and check the output of the
aplay -L command.
Seems does not work correctly... still.
This was the errors you were getting:
***

(/usr/lib/dri/r300_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driDriverExtensions)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so failed
(/usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory)
(EE) GLX: could not load software renderer
(II) GLX: no usable GL providers found for screen 0
***
Sounds like Xorg cannot load some files for enabling 3D
acceleration... let's see, swrast_dri.so is included in package
libgl1-mesa-dri, do you have it installed? Can you locate that
library installed in the mentioned path? :-?
Yes, I do, but now have upgraded up to testing version:
libgl1-mesa-dri [7.0.3-7 - 7.7.1-4] libgl1-mesa-glx [7.0.3-7 -
7.7.1-4]
and it started working.

I use only several packages from testing - some of: xserver, alsa,

also the cause of unexpected problems.

As you are using the same kernel and xorg packages than squeeze, you now

most logical approach). Squeeze does not need to use a /etc/X11/
xorg.conf file at all, neither for managing the keyboard settings nor
for display: nowadays all this stuff has to be automatically configured
and setup by Xorg.
If you are having issues with your keyboard layout, first place to look
is at your Xorg log (/var/log/xorg.0.log) and search for any warnings.
If there are no evident clues, you can also try to configure your
keyboard by using your DE tools (GNOME and KDE both have nice tools for
setting up the keyboard layout options and the the behavior of the rest
of the compose keys -like alt, windows key or control-).
Your last resort is manually editing and adjust the /etc/default/
keyboard file, starting first with a minimal/basic file and then adding
the required tweaks.
You have to run aplay -l, it should display the all your outputs, for
example:
After I have install the very same kernel (version) from testing (before

xserver-testing issues.
Good day. I again try to use xserver from testing... - I've tried already before - without success, now I thought as testing soon becomes stable - it is worth of try even for me. - And having several issues, would try to solve them / make bug reports as necessary - before I return to stable - in case of no success using testing (I have my install back up). If would help me solving the problems, please do so. So, 1. How I can configure my keyboard now? - Before times I had this in xorg.conf that worked perfectly: Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard0 Driver kbd Option XkbModel pc105 Option XkbLayout us,de Option XkbVariantwinkeys Option XkbOptionsgrp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll EndSection Now several keys do not work as expected: Delete - does not work at all, Ctrl - works as Page down. . 2. My PC has stopped using on-board sound card and now prefers to use PC-speaker. I tried to change alsa config to make default the second sond card - as it terms it - now, running alsamixer - I see the card control instead of PC=speaker's but players (aplay, mplayer, KDE4 sound notifications) deny using it. For example, aplay: ALSA lib confmisc.c:1286:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition 'defaults.pcm.dmix.device' ALSA lib conf.c:4170:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib conf.c:4649:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm.c:2190:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default aplay: main:564: audio open error: No such file or directory 3. I had distorted in most 3D-games, but working in few of them and anther 3d-apps - 3D support, now it is gone.
