It works, but I find the lack of documentation disturbing. As it is, adding radeon.modeset=1 to the commandline switches my screen to the correct resolution. This is partly because I have a TFT screen on this laptop. I've not been able to find anything about changing the resolution, so with a CRT monitor I don't know how you would go about that. Also, a hint or two somewhere in linux-2.6.23-rc3/Documentation/ would be nice. At the moment, the word 'KMS' is not used in any file there. No wonder I couldn't find it when I configured my kernel. So far, I've seen 5 good boots and one with a hang (garbage on screen, hanging laptop) - there's room for improvement yet. Kind regards, Jurriaan -- It has a name, among the Voyani. Lumina Arden.
