state of xserver-xorg-video-ati

2011-09-28 Thread Miles Bader
For a long time, I haven't been able to upgrade xorg on my system because it I use "xserver-xorg-video-ati", which depends on "xserver-xorg-video-r128", which is out-of-date w/r/t the rest of xorg. My system has a radeon GPU, so of course what I _really_ want is xserver-xorg-video-radeon, but my i

Ok, I looked at it more, and it was my fault -- somehow I had the version of xserver-xorg-video-r128 from experimental installed (the rest of xorg is from unstable), and that was screwing up dependencies. BTW, although it's in "experimental", that version (6.8.1-5+exp2) of xserver-xorg-video-r128

Hi, I'd like to set the display DPI for X apps to see, as the default of 75 DPI is really off for me. As XFree86 4.x doesn't support my video card adequately, I'm using debians 3.x xserver-mach64 package. I tried to add the line (which works in XFree86 4.x): DisplaySize 250 177 to the `Moni

Hi, I have a computer that has integrated video using the i815 chipset (or at least, that what the kernel/X says). This works fine with xfree86 at 1024x768 resolution, but 1280x1024 resolution yields a glitchy display -- basically everything looks right, but there are about 10 thin shimmery verti
