Xserver 7.3 with fglrx?

[SoftIce]

hi

debian has recently upgraded to xserver-xorg 7.3 in their unstable (sid) repository.

is there a workaround or hack to make fglrx (8.40.4) compatible with 7.3 (which isn't offically supported yet by ati)?
had to downgrade for the moment...

Script has workarounds for kdm, gdm an xdm. If you use something else tell me.

hey kano

yup, thanks. your
sed -i 's|^\(\s*ServerCmd=.*\)|\1 -ignoreABI|' /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc

has done it. but need to downgrade to 7.2 anyway, because of the following problems which appeared with 7.3 in the last 20 minutes:

* black screen when starting quake 3
* freeze when switching to console (ctrl-alt-f1) - only with vesafb (vga=791) enabled
* moved windows maximize automatically

btw: shame on ARD!

thanks and greets

If you like you can try different drivers with my script using the -v option.
