[Linux-fbdev-users] Radeonfb driver in kernel 2.6

[Otto W. <ott...@or...>]

I've tried to use the Debian 2.6.8-2 kernel but radeonfv driver still
doesn't work correct, the screen is switched to 1280x1024-60 but still
shows 640x480. This is a known bug and I'd like to know in which kernel
this bug is fixed. Does anyone use the radeonfb driver and can tell me
with which kernel version?

Or is it possible to disable the malfunctioning accelerated code? How?

Are you using the new or the old radeonfb driver? The new one is in the
aty src directory.

I run with the new radeonfb successfully from kernel 2.6.10 in
1280x720-50, but am still struggling with directfb.

The radeonfb driver needs a patch to set the correct acceleration id,
but I think it is being sent upstream.

I tried the Debian/Sarge kernel, currently 2.6.8, I guess it still use
the old driver. I switched back to 2.4.26 where it worked correct.

Fine, I'd prefer I to stick with an ordniary Debian package but I may
try to build the new driver since I know now it's working.

DirectFB is another story, luckally I'm not in a hurry. As far as I know
it worked a little bit with 2.4.24 when I tried my check app (see
"http://wyodesktop.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=checkapp.html"), at
leased it showed some colours.
