** Description changed:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
I have Foxconn RC4107MA-RS2 which has ATI Radeon Xpress 200
In Jaunty I had to add the line {Option "BusType" "PCI"} to xorg.conf and
then I got the desktop effects working.
But in Karmic when I add the line then I get a blank screen and the
monitor turns off. Without the line I can start but I don't have desktop
effects/compositing.
I checked the Xorg.0.log and I found out that this "(**) RADEON(0):
Forced into PCIE mode" where as I had requested it to be forced into PCI
mode.
In Jaunty I get "(**) RADEON(0): Forced into PCI mode"
Currently I have installed the xserver-xorg-video-radeon package from jaunty
(version 1:6.12.1-0ubuntu2) in order to solve the problem temporarily

+ SRU information:
+
+ The code change affects these cards and PCI IDs:
+ CHIP_FAMILY_RS400: 5A41, 5A42, 5A61, 5A62
+ (xpress 200, 200m (RS400) Intel)
+ CHIP_FAMILY_RS480: 5954, 5955, 5974, 5975
+ (xpress 200, 200m (RS410/480/482/485) AMD)
+
+ They wrongly report as AGP cards, and DRI will fail to initialize.
+
+ The code change also makes sure that if BusType is specified in xorg.conf,
the right GART handling (PCI or PCIE) will be chosen. This covers also these
cards:
+ CHIP_FAMILY_RS690: 791E, 791F
+ CHIP_FAMILY_RS740: 796C, 796D, 796E, 796F
+
+ Upstream commit: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-
+ ati/commit/?id=0ee7763fb33bf7fbc4ae1e8372cbc74578bfb720
