I got a fresh 2.6.0test9 and patched it with your patch. First, radeonfb_setup was missing from radeon_base.c, while it was declared in fbmem.c. I applied the patch that was contributed to the list by Javier Villavicencio a few days ago. Thus, I had a good compile. I have video=radeonfb:1280x1024-32@75 set in my lilo.conf file. At reboot, my LCD screen complained about bad frequencies: 50.9 kHz horizontal, and 43.7 Hz vertical. Normal frequencies with the above settings are 80kHz and 75Hz. Passing 1280x1024-32@60 instead of 1280x1024-32@75 did not change the generated frequencies, so it seems that interpretation of the mode line is not OK. I plugged in an old CRT monitor, and I could see a normal screen. But when starting X (set up with Option "UseFBDev" "true"), the LCD monitor became happy of the frequency that it received but was frozen with a garbled screen. And the keyboard was dead. I logged in remotely and found out that the X executable was hanging and could not be killed. Reboot was needed. I can run at 1280x1024-32@75 with 2.6.0test7 with the original patches from Ben (actually, using the whole kernel tree that he suggested I should use, gotten via rsync). And X works OK in FB mode with his kernel. With proper OpenGL acceleration. All this with a radeon 9200 card. More info upon request...
