upgrade to latest xorg has stopped my CLE266 from working

[Dirk]

I had a working Mini-ITX board using dapper with packages about 2 months old with:-

0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8623 [Apollo CLE266] integrated CastleRock graphics (rev 03)

and an LCD panel connected to a normal VGA port working until I upgraded just now. It had not been switched on a quite a while and it did 150+ updates including xorg.

The output from the end of the logfile goes like:-
...
(II) VIA: driver for VIA chipsets: CLE266, KM400/KN400, K8M800,
        PM800/PM880/CN400
(EE) No devices detected.

I have done a clean dpkg-reconfigure and got exactly the same result. The reconfigure gives me a section in xorg.conf that looks like:-

Section "Device"
        Identifier "VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8623 [Apollo CLE266] integrated CastleRock graphics"
        Driver "via"
        BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
        Option "ActiveDevice" "LCD"
EndSection

except that I added the ActiveDevice line after looking elsewhere on here.

xresprobe gets me:-

$ xresprobe via

disptype:

What has changed?

that seems to have reappeared with the 1.1.1 packages here ... reopening

Oliver, you marked this bug as Confirmed, but it's a duplicate of a bug which is Fix Released.

[Oliver Grawert (ogra)]

right i somewhat missed that, it should have been a new bug since it affects the new xorg packages in edgy as well, sorry, i was a bit stressed since we lost a day looking for the reason why none of the thin clients could start x and found that in edgy the upstream tarballs are patched, i already talked to rodrigo who is fixing that now, so no bug is needed anymore
