I updated from Ubuntu Breezy to Ubuntu Dapper yesterday on my home box.
I've got two video cards, a 32Mb SiS card and a 64Mb ATI Radeon 7200.
The SiS card is on BusID PCI:2:6:0
The ATI card is on my AGP slot, PCI:1:0:0
I run extended desktop with Xinerama
When running Ubuntu Breezy the stock sis and ati drivers worked great.
After upgrading to Dapper which gave me new stock drivers and Xorg 7 the
ATI card doesn't work. I cannot get it to work with 'ati' or 'vesa' drivers.
When I run startx with 'ati' the monitor is just black. When I run
startx with 'vesa' I get 'AddScreen/InitScreen failed at driver 0'.
I have reduced my configuration to try to run off from the ATI card only.
Below is my stripped down singlehead configuration and the outputs of
lspci. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
