Bug#441181: xserver-xorg-video-ati: does not detect monitor
On 11/11/2007, Brice Goglin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Michal, Any news about this bug? Anything better with 1:6.7.195-2 currently in experimental? It's been fixed (the resolution) in some 6.7.192 or so. The lockup is present in 6.7.196 but the mode handling there is apparently different again, the default mode on a non-detected CRT is some widescreen resolution. I would assume the LCD problem fixed. They might have broken it again but there's no point in testing every dev release, especially since the driver is unusable unless the card is set to PCI mode (which is not something a user will likely find out). There is a different bug for the crash Thanks Michal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What sort of lock up (3D related, blank screen, etc.)? It was already referenced earlier, I first experienced it with the ubuntu build of the 6.6.193 and 6.7.192 ati drivers. Usually the mouse stays movable (sometimes not), some minor screen corruption appears (sometimes not), the picture no longer updates (or the corruption keeps spreading), and keyboard stops working. Sometimes stuff like power button works. Sometimes it does not but it might be that there is nothing configured on it when booting from the livecd. Most often it happens while running Firefox but once I saw it while running a terminal with aptitude under gnome. Hi Michal, Any news about this bug?

Before I could report I tried it :) Also I do not think these new drivers really fix the problem, they just do not contain many of the built-in modes the old driver did. Would have to test to be sure, though. Tried to add the default modes from the old driver as modelines, and with the 6.7 from experimental it works. The driver rejects the larger modes because they are too large for virtual size. However, on the very system where it fixes the mode selection it caused a lockup. 01:00.1 0380: 1002:5940 (rev 01) Radeon 9250 (reported as Radeon 9200 PRO) rv280 Should I file a different bug about the lockups or is there one among the zillions of Radeon bugs already?
