Hello everybody! I upgraded the following system from debian etch to current testing:
AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+ VIA KT400 chipset ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE] (rev 01) (according to lspci) BENQ G2400W (1920x1200) and the xorg.conf that worked fine with debian etch results in a totally distorted screen, with diagonal stripes that have about the color the screen should have (light blue for the login screen, and the main colors of the background picture after a more or less blind login seemed right) Like the rendering engine has a different opinion how many pixels are in a line from the output stage. Interesting: the cursor had the right shape and did move with the mouse. The resolution that the display's OnScreenDisplay lists was right as well. please have a look at: http://www.nieleute.de/xorg.conf.etch I tried the xorg.conf that knoppix 5.1.1 provides as well, same result. http://www.nieleute.de/xorg.conf.knoppix5.1 Replacing the ati driver with vesa gives me a working 1280x1...@75 and allows me to access mail again :-) Versions of debian packages: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.9.0-1+ Is this version of the driver broken for my hardware? Is my hardware broken? What can I do? How can I provide more information to track this down? Should this be put into the debian bug database? With all the best wishes to everybody for 2009 Hartmut Niemann _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
