Had to reboot my notebook after longer time (using hibernate-ram, so maybe I stumble across this later than it really should have hit me) X doesn't start up. Upon inspection I see this: (II) RADEON(0): crtc(0) Clock: mode 161630, PLL 161620 (II) RADEON(0): crtc(0) PLL : refdiv 12, fbdiv 0x1AF(431), pdiv 6 Set CRTC 0 PLL success Set CRTC Timing success Set CRTC 0 Overscan success Not using RMX scaler 0 setup success Set CRTC 0 Source success crtc 0 YUV disable setup success Output digital setup success Output LCD1 enable success Enable CRTC 0 success Unblank CRTC 0 success Output CRT1 disable success Blank CRTC 1 success Disable CRTC 1 success (II) RADEON(0): RandR 1.2 enabled, ignore the following RandR disabled message.

Also re-emerging either the radeon driver nor randr didn|t change anything

(In reply to comment #0) > Interestingly, I have libXrandr 1.3.2 installed not 1.2 as radeon claims. Also > re-emerging either the radeon driver nor randr didn|t change anything Sorry, 1.3.0 - nevertheless a mismatch with what the radeon driver claims. Additional info: xorg-server 1.6.4 with hal disabled
(In reply to comment #1) now I see this: > 2.6.31-tuxonice x86_64) and this: > virtual/os-headers: 2.6.30-r1 and actually there is no virtual/os-headers, just sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.30-r1 and he tries to install that even after removal. Hmm. Understandable, as almost ever rebuild fails without them. Sigh. Although I do have them under /usr/src/linux/include/linux ... ok a symlink here and there helps with this... Should - for the first time in history - the tuxonice guys have been faster than the vanilla herd? :-) Ok. Rebuilt xorg and all drivers with the symlinks pointing to 2.6.31 includes aaaaand... It works! (II) RADEON(0): RandR 1.2 enabled, ignore the following RandR disabled message. (WW) RADEON(0): Option "BIOSHotkeys" is not used (WW) RADEON(0): Option "VendorName" is not used (WW) RADEON(0): Option "ModelName" is not used (--) RandR disabled (II) Initializing built-in extension Generic Event Extension (II) Initializing built-in extension SHAPE (II) Initializing built-in extension MIT-SHM (II) Initializing built-in extension XInputExtension (II) Initializing built-in extension XTEST etc. etc. I've changed the resolution to "WORKSFORME", probably this will get obsolete with a linux-headers update. SOmeone should test/verify/reproduce nevertheless.
