 |
|
Hi!
Radeonfb does not work anymore.
On one Box I'll get a black screen and when Xorg starts the system hangs,
on my Laptop VGAmode 80x25 is used.
Any ideas?
I'm using gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.11 |

Similar problem here. Garbage all over the screen. But X does start at least.
Disabled radeonfb for now.
I'll compile in debug messages and try to find out what's going on. |

Try vesafb-tng. Or regular vesafb. Works great for me.

Hi, in case you get garbage and X is fine use default_dynclk=-1 with radeonfb.

I bet you'll be fine when you remove the fglrx stuff. fglrx and radeonfb don't like each other. Read the kernel changelog. Either use fglrx or radeonfb.
Luck
Edit: You can also try to build radeonfb statically and append "radeonfb.default_dynclk=-1". |

micmac: Thanks for the advice but in my bug report you will find that I mentioned that I tried both: fglrx and radeon...
aside from that: how could fglrx interfere with radeonfb before the fglrx module is loaded? |
