[xserver-xorg-driver-ati is an obsolete package]

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Thanks for reporting this issue. It sort of looks like X is getting confused by the existence of two primary devices.

Would you please test against current Jaunty (Alpha-4 plus updates, or wait for Alpha-5 in a couple days; download ISOs from http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty) and post a new Xorg.0.log from that test?

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

Same as bug #311748 I suppose.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Tormod, you're right, I *thought* this sounded familiar. Duping.
