See if the problem persists if you set CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m in the kernel config, and run "vbetool post" after kexec before loading the radeon kernel module. You may also want to report this problem upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ and add the URL to this bug. I have a HD4850, with the same setup, except I don't you radeonhd, but radeon video driver, and I don't have this issue. Maybe it's specifically bound to your video card or firmware? Hello. Is this still a problem? Can you try the above? Can you try newer versions? Thank you in advance. (In reply to Tom Wijsman (TomWij) from comment #3) > Hello. > > Is this still a problem?

I switched to an nVidia card some months back in [unsuccessful] hopes of cleaning up some display artifacts. There's not really anything Gentoo developers can do to solve this. Please file a bug upstream https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=DRI if the problem persists. |
