I am trying to use a Radeon 9000 on my pegasos board, and had the same success with it as with the matrox millenium II i used previously. Well, it is even worse, since radeonfb doesn't even output a bit in the boot log. After a bit of thinking, i realize that this is quite normal, sine i have to use a 2.4.18 kernel, which knows nothing of the Radeon 9000, since it did not exist at that time. So, my questions are : 1) is it ok to just add the Radeon 9000 pci ids and whatever to the 2.4.28 kernel and hope it works. (Maybe not, but then the Radeon 9000 and the Radeon 8500 are supposed to be really similar). 2) Does anyone know how to check the pci ids of such a card from OF ? 3) Are the 2.5.x kernel working on powerpc, and if yes, is the radeonfb driver ported ?
