Hi Bin, Everyone, I'm starting a new thread: I do not want to hijack the one where this ati-driver topic started ...

The problem seems being gone for the moment, without having changed xorg.conf here ... But I'll have a look into the "SWcursor" "on" option .. Thanks for the hint, Bin ... The problem I reported a few hours ago about the missing mouse pointer on console probably was due to a crashed gpm server ... Perhaps it went belly up after restarting X a few times in a row ... not being sure .. :) Then this: BTW: Anyone out there who compiled today's (Friday, Nov 23) radeon sources received via 'git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati' ? I compiled them this evening, overwrote the drivers in the xserver-xorg-video-ati package from experimental, and got errors like those when I connected the VGA mentioned in the previous thread: ---------------------------------------------- First a newly compiled xrandr (got the sources via git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/app/xrandr .. IINM): ./downloads/radeon/xrandr/xrandr/xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1440 x 960, maximum 1440 x 1200 LVDS connected 1440x960+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 321mm x 2 14mm 1440x960 59.9*+ 1280x800 60.0 1280x768 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 DVI-0 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1440x960 60.0 1280x800 59.8 60.0 1280x768 60.0 1152x720 60.0 1024x768 60.0 59.9 1024x640 59.9 800x600 60.3 800x500 59.5 720x480 59.7 640x480 59.9 S-video unknown connection 800x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis ) 0mm x 0mm 800x600 60.3* ## Note: There was no S-video connection that I knew about ---------------------------------------------------------- Then using the old xrandr from x11-xserver-utils 7.3+1: $ xrandr --output DVI-0 --auto xrandr: cannot find crtc for output DVI-0 --------------------------------------------- The new xrandr compiled from sources I got via git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/app/xrandr ./downloads/radeon/xrandr/xrandr/xrandr --output DVI-0 --auto ./downloads/radeon/xrandr/xrandr/xrandr: cannot find crtc for output DVI-0 ------------------------------------------------- Going back to xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.7.196-1 solved these issues, and I could successfully connect the old VGA as I already described a few hours ago ... Anything I missed? And this: I saw this https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11796 This was the main reason I compiled the fresh xf86-video-ati sources: I thought the patch mentioned on this page would solve the scrambled mouse image on X: it didn't, IIRC ...
