[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#686617: fglrx-driver: aticonfig dual-head -> no more 3D accel

[David Pirotte]

Andreas,

Thank you so much to try to help us solving this problem. I just tried both (13.4) and
experimental (13.8-beta1), but unfortunately it did not made things better: 3D acceleration
but gnome-classic. Note that I did recreate the xorg.conf after updating in both cases using this
command:	aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=right

The grub command line [additional] options are empty:

	...
	GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
	# GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset"
	GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
	...

Packages used are now these:

	david at chatotorix:~ 2 $ lpkg fglrx
	ii  fglrx-atieventsd                       1:13.8~beta1-2   amd64  
	ii  fglrx-control                          1:13.8~beta1-2   amd64     
	ii  fglrx-driver                           1:13.8~beta1-2   amd64     
	ii  fglrx-modules-dkms                     1:13.8~beta1-2   amd64 
	ii  glx-alternative-fglrx                  0.3.0            amd64        
	ii  libfglrx:amd64                         1:13.8~beta1-2   amd64 
	ii  libfglrx-amdxvba1:amd64                1:13.8~beta1-2   amd64
	ii  libgl1-fglrx-glx:amd64                 1:13.8~beta1-2   amd64  
	ii  xvba-va-driver                         0.8.0-8
		
I am attaching the atisystemreport as well. 

Let me know if I can be of any help, sending other info or trying other command solution ...
Thanks,
David
