Description Jory A. Pratt 2006-01-02 13:28:09 UTC
ATI drivers will not be compatible with 2.6.15 this is something upstream needs to address before they make next release IMO. Opening for tracking purposes only. I will attach my kernel config and give lspci info for those who think it is important but it all comes down to acpi related problem.

kernel config for 2.6.15

here is kernel config just incase someone thinks it is kernel related.

Matthew could you reproduce it?
Comment 3 René Rietz 2006-01-03 08:52:38 UTC
I heard of this.
There is a patch on:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/12/11/26

In agpgart_be.c a
#include <linux/pm_legacy.h>
need to be added.

I have not tested this. Hopefully it works.
Comment 4 Jory A. Pratt 2006-01-03 11:59:57 UTC
Thanks for pointing me to the patch I have tested and it does work. I have just added it to 8.20.0.
Comment 5 René Rietz 2006-01-03 12:41:25 UTC
Hopefully it makes the way into -r1.

There is no need for a -r1 I am not gonna have users that are on 2.6.14 update when it does not benefit them at all. This is simple to make driver usuable until ati themselves corrects the problem.
Comment 7 Paolo Pedroni 2006-01-24 05:06:35 UTC
What about marking 8.20.8 (or 8.21.7) stable, then? The current stable version (for AMD64, at least) does not have this fix, yet.
