Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
I have a (Club 3d) ATI Radeon 9250 PCI 128MB (in an old Dell Optiplex GX1 with
384MB so PCI was the only option). Am running feisty with
xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.6.3 installed.
Vesa driver works OK; ati driver gives a black screen and console freeze every
time I try.
If I disable "dri" in xorg.conf then I can use the ati driver but then I guess
that's almost the same as vesa. So not good performance of any kind since
driver is not writing directly to the Radeon 9250 card.
I can attach the xorg.cong that I am using which has "dri" disabled if
required. Also, I did look at my /var/log/Xorg.0.log and really did not
see any errors when I had the back screen. Can append this too.
PS I did try using 'fglrx' but was not successful due to version
incompatibilities. (Could not really install the last ATI Radeon driver
8.28.8 that works for the 9250 in feisty - the new ATI Radeon driver is
too new for the 9250). Ended up re-installing feisty to get back to
where I am now to make sure all my libraries were OK.
