** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
  
  I have Foxconn RC4107MA-RS2 which has ATI Radeon Xpress 200
  In Jaunty I had to add the line {Option "BusType" "PCI"} to xorg.conf and then I got the desktop effects working.
  
  But in Karmic when I add the line then I get a blank screen and the
  monitor turns off. Without the line I can start but I don't have desktop
  effects/compositing.
  
  I checked the Xorg.0.log and I found out that this "(**) RADEON(0):
  Forced into PCIE mode" where as I had requested it to be forced into PCI
  mode.
  
  In Jaunty I get "(**) RADEON(0): Forced into PCI mode"
  Currently I have installed the xserver-xorg-video-radeon package from jaunty (version 1:6.12.1-0ubuntu2) in order to solve the problem temporarily

  The code change affects these cards and PCI IDs:
-  CHIP_FAMILY_RS400: 5A41, 5A42, 5A61, 5A62
-  (xpress 200, 200m (RS400) Intel)
-  CHIP_FAMILY_RS480: 5954, 5955, 5974, 5975
-  (xpress 200, 200m (RS410/480/482/485) AMD)
+  CHIP_FAMILY_RS400: 5A41, 5A42, 5A61, 5A62
+  (xpress 200, 200m (RS400) Intel)
+  CHIP_FAMILY_RS480: 5954, 5955, 5974, 5975
+  (xpress 200, 200m (RS410/480/482/485) AMD)
  
- They wrongly report as AGP cards, and DRI will fail to initialize.

  The code change also makes sure that if BusType is specified in xorg.conf, the right GART handling (PCI or PCIE) will be chosen. This covers also these cards:
-  CHIP_FAMILY_RS690: 791E, 791F
-  CHIP_FAMILY_RS740: 796C, 796D, 796E, 796F
+  CHIP_FAMILY_RS690: 791E, 791F
+  CHIP_FAMILY_RS740: 796C, 796D, 796E, 796F
