[Bug 69891] Re: xorg automatic configuration on edgy 6.10 live CD- branch for x-series ATI cards

[Slogger]

So I changed the driver back to ati as originally was, added

 option "monitor layout" "LVDS,CRT"

and the driver now works... sort of.

the resolution is now something horrible like 600x480 according to screen res prefs (to me it looks a little bit higher, maybe 800x600. Perhaps antialiasing?) Anyhow, it also says the refresh rate is 
-19556 Hz

No other resolution choices are offered.


So now the situation is this:

Live CD unusable with standard boot options because freezes and you are
locked out of console screens.

Changing the boot line to remove splash lets you have access to the
console screens after x/gdm boots and crashes.

At this point you can switch xorg.conf to vesa or modify it so that ati
driver works correctly, apparently as in the bugs you mentioned.
