I have some issues with the radeonfb, rather minor but I want to tell you=20 anyways. I am not subscribed to the list, so please CC me when answering. 1. RADEON FRAMEBUFFER DISPLAY DRIVER P: Ani Joshi M: ajoshi@shell.unixbox.com is unreachable. The file should be updated. 2. I tried with video=3Dradeonfb:1024x768-24@60 and this resulted in no framebuffer console at all. 24bpp is a common setti= ng=20 for X and in my opinion, the driver should just do the right thing with the= =20 request (e.g. map it 32bpp if necessary). Or at least you could print a kernel message in the default case that the=20 selected bpp value is not supported. 3. radeonfb is mentioned in no file in Documentation/fb/. This lets one guess = on how to use it. Please add radeonfb to the supported list in=20 Documentation/fb/modedb.txt Thanks.
