Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

Problem with 3/29 updates to Feisty.
I have an Acer Ferrari with ATI Mobility Radeon 7000.
My video card no longer works.
I tried updating xorg. No luck.
I tried adding the following to the conf file;
Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS,AUTO"
which has worked for the past 8 or so of my installs.
No luck.

Feisty does run from the command line. I have done apt-get update, apt-get install, and then apt-get upgrade.
All updates / upgrades are in place.

I'm not very technically proficient, but I'll help if I can.

You are using vesa driver for some reason. Change it to ati, and remove the Monitorlayout-option. Also, add "1680x1050" to the list of modes (before 1280x1024).

Did you upgrade from Edgy?

Thank you.
Did dpkg-reconfigure to effect above changes and it now works like a charm.
I did not upgrade from Edgy. This was a clean Herd 3 install with regular updates.
I don't know exactly what happened, but this ticket can probably be closed out.
