linuxppc-2.5 (mvista rsync) -- Please push changesets for AGPGART / RadeonFB / Radeon DRI to Linus

[Miles Lane]

Hi,

When I build and run a Linus kernel 2.5.72 - 2.6.0-test2 kernel,
the video gets thrown way out of sync when I start my Radeon
card with DRI enabled.  The symptom is twofold, the colormap
is all wrong and all I get is a very blurry, oversized pointer.  The
sync seems to be way out of whack.  Switching to a VT window
doesn't help.  In fact, the video in VT windows exhibits the
same problems.  I have tried switching back and forth repeatedly.
The only thing that fixes the problem is starting XFreee86 with
DRI disabled or rebooting.

I have a:
ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]

Also, if there are other changesets that should be in 2.6.0, this might
be a good time to get those in, right?

Thanks!

	Miles

Do you have radeonfb working? If so, I want to see your .config. :)

The radeon DRM should work out of the box in any recent 2.5/2.6 kernel,
the lack of agpgart may be a problem on some machines though. It's hard
to say exactly what's the cause of your problems without knowing
anything about the version of XFree86, its configuration, ... but I'm
not sure that's really on topic for this list...
