as summary. When I compile in the radeon framebuffer and enable it, I get very strange behavior. There are "streaks" and strange wrapping behavior. I can read the screen, but it requires a reset often if a line happens to wrap around the edge of the screen. I can take a snapshot if that would help at all. I assigned this to mjc, but I have had this problem with all the 2.4.19 kernels. the only kernels we have that still work, I think, are the vanilla and redhat ones.
linux-kernel mailing list. linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Also try newer kernels from -ac or from me.
try our latest sources... not a bug in gentoo.
The Radeon Framebuffer in current 2.4-kernels is not very good. It even fails to run on my Radeon M6 LY. There have been a couple of fixes in the ac-series, i would suggest to use the one in ac-kernels for the next gentoo-sources.
Hanno, As I stated in my report, the Redhat kernels and some vanilla kernels work just fine. You might try one of those. I also have the M6 LY. Brandon, I made this a bug report so that our kernel guys could figure out what Redhat was doing that made the framebuffer work. If that has not happened, then the bug should remain open. If you are refusing to look into it, then state that, so I can pass it on to the laptop users.
