no luck with ATI Radeon 32 PCI and FlatPanel

[Kevin B. Hendricks]

Hi Ben,

The flatpanel works fine under MacOS9 but it will not even show the ybin
prompt which makes it hard to boot into linux  ;-)

Using the display registry on the MacOS side, the Radeon does in fact
provide all the the nice info we need:

ATY, RADEONp

ATY, RefCLK = 27000
ATY,MCLK = 166000
ATY,SCLK= 166000
width 1280
height 1024

RF_VCLK=10800
RF_MCLK=16615
RF_YCLK=33230
RF_SCLK=16615

Any ideas on how to boot this thing if the ybin prompt never even appears
on the screen (I tried blindly typing but no luck).

I will keep playing (probably in dual video mode) to try and make this
thing work.

I will let you know how it goes.

Kevin

You don't get an OF prompt at all ?

the clock values seem to be the same ones I'm using, so readonfb should be ok.

Ben.
