[Bug 222163] linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 is obsolete

[bugbot]

Thank you for reporting this issue about a driver from the
linux-restricted-modules package.  lrm-2.4.24 was shipped with Ubuntu
8.04 which reached end-of-life for desktop support on May 12th, 2011.

For that reason, this bug report is being closed at this time. I'm
marking it wontfix because what you describe is probably a valid issue,
but there are no plans to work on lrm 2.4.24 bugs further.

The issue may be resolved in a newer version.  If not, aside from filing
a new bug report, another angle may be to file it directly with the
driver vendor.

Title:
  Xorg crashes when using two monitors set up by aticonfig (BigDesktop
  mode) [AMD Feature#7647] [EPR#260264]

Status in “linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Reported on: Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)
  Video card: ATI Mobility Radeon x1400 (128MB) on a Lenovo Thinkpad T60.
  Monitors being used: Built-in T60 LCD with a resolution of 1400x1050, and a 24" Westinghouse LCD externally attached via analog (VGA) connector with a resolution of 1900x1200.

  After many hours of effort, I finally managed to get my second monitor
  working using the fglrx driver and ATI's command-line utility
  aticonfig using BigDesktop mode. The total resolution of the desktop,
  as reported by xrandr, is 3840x1200. The orientation is
  horizontal,reverse so that my larger screen is to the left of the
  laptop. Compiz effects, etc. work perfectly. There are issues with 3D
  and video tearing, which may be related to the overlay being used
  (currently set to Xv). However, there is a massive showstopping bug.

  If I click on the desktop on the right-hand monitor, it will very
  often crash Xorg entirely. I can fairly reliably replicate the bug by
  either simply clicking or drawing a selection area on the right-hand
  desktop. The left-hand desktop works perfectly; the icons for nautilus
  appear on the left-hand monitor. Gnome-panels are currently on the
  right-hand (laptop) monitor. Windows and compiz effects are drawn fine
  on both windows, with no problems. When using VLC, fullscreen video
  plays on the right-hand monitor.

  Attached are my xorg.confs and the logfile post-crash, but here is the
  relevant error:
