Hello,

Christian Meyer <c2h5oh at web.de> (13/06/2012):
> So: Please add a list of 3D supported video-cards[1] in the package description
> or, at least change the description to something like: "xserver-xorg-video-
> radeon is the recommended driver, which works for most cards. Please try the
> proprietary and unsupported ATI 'fglrx-driver' if xserver-xorg-video-radeon
> does not work."

here's the new description:

Description: X.Org X server -- AMD/ATI Radeon display driver

 following chips should be supported: R100, RV100, RS100, RV200, RS200,

I'm pretty sure the previous one wasn't praising fglrx, but I hear your
point and your joyless experience.

Mraw,
KiBi.
