It is a diff against 2.4.20, but i managed to apply the needed changes
from 2.4.18->2.4.19->2.4.20, so it didn't complain much. Still, there
were some stuff missing, but i think i got it right.

Anyway i built the kernel and launched it, it now recognize my radeon
9000, but my DVI connected monitor complains about wrong timings (it say
18,5KHz & 23Hz, which is not supported by the monitor). Anyway, here is
the relevant output :

radeonfb: ref_clk=2700, ref_div=12, xclk=25000 defaults
radeonfb: detected DFP panel size from registers: 1024x768
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30
radeonfb: ATI Radeon 9000 If DDR SGRAM 64 MB
radeonfb: DVI port DFP monitor connected
radeonfb: CRT port no monitor connected

Tell me if another part of the log is needed.

I will try connecting a analog monitor and see what happens.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
