#50498 — Bug#795318: Subject: firmware-linux-nonfree: kernel modeswitching on radeon hardware broken

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Package: firmware-linux-nonfree
Version: 0.44
Severity: important

when using fglrx for 3d acceleration all modeswitching provided by the
non-free
kernel module is moot point. There simply is no vterm at all to switch to.If
for any reason X11 breaks you are up shit creek and must play whack-a-mole
with
the hard reset button to recover. This may be a config issue but the config
needs to be posted somewhere so people know what to do. Using PITCAIRN
hardware(HD 7850 x2).

actually it does if memory serves me correctly. IIRC this was a
misconfiguration of something but I dont remember what Off the top of my
head. Has nothing to do with flgrx or the X11 config file.
