latest update of xserver-xorg-video-ati moved screen to high on ati raedon mobilty 7500

I´m using clean Gutsy install all available updates are installed.

No modification at xorg.conf have been done so far from my side.

Please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log. We'll need to inform upstream about it.

Hi Timo,

 I tried even to reconfigure however XORG, however it did not bring any changes

I will attach also /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old since this file is may more important since it have the original changes of the install of the update xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.7.195-1ubuntu1

There is a proposed fix by upstream, and I'm only waiting for a package to be ready so you can test it (it's a one line change in radeon_modes.c..). Hang on :)

this is the upstream report, different symptoms but apparently the same cause:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12720

I have some older files still available if needed to compare the changes

you can grab the package here when it is built:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/tepsipakki/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-ati/

thx for the quick update and detailed info ,it is very much appreciated.

I will wait for the new package cross my fingers and knock 3 times on wood and pray that the fix will work ;-)

Hm, got the build extracted it went back to the site to check the changes and just wonder now why this site is off line ??

I will wait with installation since I'm not sure if there is might another issue with this build, since the page is off line.

There is may a reason

try now, packages have been pushed there.

I just did the install and a small improvement the Desktop took place.
The Desktop came for approx 3mm down and is nearly fitting to the LCD screen.

At the bottom is still a black line of approx 2mm, from the upperTaskbar are the 2mm missing.
I hope we can push it a bit more down all details are available at the attachment

I will send a screenshot done by a camera as soon the the battery is charged,
a screenshot via the application: Take Screenshot give a wrong impression since the picture shows a perfect Desktop

as promised here are the pictures

and number 2 from the bottom..

Good morning Timo,

today I found a new file online xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.7.195-1ubuntu1tja2_i386.deb and this one solved the issue with the screen, it is now fitting well again to the lcd panel.

Thank you all for your time and the fix

Dirk
