Bugzilla Bug 100391

When radeontool parses the lspci output, it only checks for "ATI Tech" instead
of "VGA compatible controller: ATI Tech"

This made it try to write regs to the host bridge instead of the vga controller
on my laptop.

I will supply a patch that will fix this.

Created an attachment (id=64372) [details]
radeontool-1.5-vga-ati.patch

one line replace

please don't assign bugs if you don't know where they should go

Please post the output of `lspci`.

I have to say, the patch wasn't my idea only.
