[Linux-fbdev-users] ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage P/M Mobility AGP 2x (rev 64)

[Frank N. <fra...@gm...>]

Hi Bruno and all fbdev gurus,
I have exactly the same problem with my COMPAQ Presario laptop.
After loading the module "atyfb" the screen go black and only display some
colored pixels at the bottom line :-(.
The X-Display is then also broken ...
I did my tests wit the 2.4.9 kernel. The patch atyfb-new-20010117.diff
don't work with 2.4.9 kernel. I think the patch is present in this
kernel  version.
