Subject: 2.6.8-rc4-mm1 : radeon_monitor.c broken vs CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS + Hard freeze
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2004 11:08:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <41189098.4000400@free.fr> (raw)
I tried 2.6.8-rc4-mm1 on my ASUS L3800C laptop (radeon 7500), defined
CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS and I have got a hard freeze when starting X and
framebuffer console with a lot of yellow dot on the bottom screen.
Suddently I hear the fan meaning the machine is dead
Trying to compile without CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS set do not work because
drivers/video/aty/radeon_monitor.c unconditionnaly uses "vesa_modes"
variable that depends on CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS.
Defining vesa_modes unconditionnaly as it was previously does not help :
machine freeze. Trying the pci=routeirq (as per 2.6.8-rc3-mm2) make the
machine to freeze immediately without even displaying something.
Due to compilation errors in 2.6.8-rc3-mm2, I did'nt tried it.
2.6.8-rc3-mm1 was the best kernel even on this machine.
