Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati Version: 1:6.6.3-2 Severity: important I have no idea what to describe... I'm used to start the machine with a graphical prompt (gdm). if I use the ati Driver, the x server does not start, the machine becomes unresponsive and all I can do is go to an other machine, log remotely in, correct the Driver line to "fbdev", ..., then I did not understand if I have to wait (that gdm respawns the login) or if I have to kill the half started and totally unusable X server.
the first time the fbdev driver starts up after ati it is also not usable, but I bet this to be caused by problems left by the ati driver... this problem appeared after a new install. on the same machine but with an other hard disk I was using the ati driver... after the reinstallation (first days of january) I could not use ati any more and had to go back to fbdev (where bug 327497 had luckly been solved...) -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xserver-xorg-video-ati depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.1.1-18 X.Org X server -- core server xserver-xorg-video-ati recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
