Message-ID: <3DCBD804.8050109@ntlworld.com> (raw)

Is atyfb in 2.4 known to work with recent Mach64 chips like Rage XL? 
When I install the driver it detects the chip but results in just a 
black screen.  I also noticed that it detects WRAM, whereas I am certain 
it should be SGRAM.  The XFree86 driver detects everything ok and just 
works.

I have also noticed that the radeonfb driver lacks support for 
initialising the card if the BIOS hasn't already done it.  I have 
recently changed from a matrox setup where the matroxfb driver would 
initialise any matrox cards found irrespective of whether the BIOS 
decided to do it unless it was told not to.  Is there any chance that 
this functionality is going to be added to the radeonfb driver?  In 
2.5/6 perhaps?
