Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
I have a (Club 3d) ATI Radeon 9250 PCI 128MB (in an old Dell Optiplex GX1 with 384MB so PCI was the only option). Am running feisty with xserver-
Vesa driver works OK; ati driver gives a black screen and console freeze every time I try.
If I disable "dri" in xorg.conf then I can use the ati driver but then I guess that's almost the same as vesa. So not good performance of any kind since driver is not writing directly to the Radeon 9250 card.
I can attach the xorg.cong that I am using which has "dri" disabled if required. Also, I did look at my /var/log/Xorg.0.log and really did not see any errors when I had the back screen. Can append this too.
PS I did try using 'fglrx' but was not successful due to version incompatibilities. (Could not really install the last ATI Radeon driver 8.28.8 that works for the 9250 in feisty - the new ATI Radeon driver is too new for the 9250). Ended up re-installing feisty to get back to where I am now to make sure all my libraries were OK.
