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? ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
