Description:
update to latest package cause xorg-server to crash. Updating packages: xorg-server xorg-server-common xorg-server-xvfb from 1.20.13-2 to 21.1.1-3 and xf86-video-ati from 19.1.0-2 to 19.1.0.r9.g5eba0006e-1 Steps to reproduce: Update the package, restart the xorg server, watch it crash. Reverting to previous pacakges fix the crash. It's not possible to tell which system causes the crash between xorg-server and the xf86 ati driver since packages are mutually depends.

I confirm the driver no longer crash witch this patch. It seems to fix problems with xrandr also.
