[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#677667: fglrx crashes with X server 1.12 on 64bit architecture

[Hor Jiun Shyong]

Package: fglrx-driver
Version: 1:12-6~beta-1
Severity: important


I have patched and rebuilt libpciaccess0 but fglrx still crashes.  As 
temporary measure, I am using fglrx-driver 1:12-6~beta-1  while holding 
the below packages from upgrade.  This gives me a working gdm3.

xserver-xorg-core_2%3a1.11.4-1_amd64.deb
xserver-common_2%3a1.11.4-1_all.deb
xorg_1%3a7.6+12_amd64.deb
xserver-xorg_1%3a7.6+12_amd64.deb
xserver-xorg-input-all_1%3a7.6+12_amd64.deb
xserver-xorg-input-evdev_1%3a2.7.0-1_amd64.deb
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics_1.5.99.901-1_amd64.deb
xserver-xorg-input-wacom_0.12.0-1_amd64.deb
