It didn't work! I still got the same problem. X refuses to start. Xorg.0.log seems to be the same as the previous one.
As you said: "the radeonhd_drv is never ever loaded by X.org (according to the log)."
As I have the same error when I try to use vesa or ati, I guess it isn't 'radeonhd specific'. I must have something wrong elsewhere...
Look and see if the radeonhd_drv.so is installed at /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeonhd_drv.so.

Oh yeah, btw can you send over your xorg.conf? Where is it located?
The log indicates that it is loading the following config file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe
When doing /etc/init.d/gdm start I thing, but I'm not sure, it first tries to start gdm with /etc/X11/xorg.conf then if it fails it tries to start it with /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe The xorg.conf.failsafe is regenerated everytime and configured with the vesa driver.
This seems to explain why I didn't had anything about radeonhd in the Xorg.0.log file
Thanks a lot for your help! I'm happy to run this radeonhd driver!!! Antoine
Excellent! Can you use the rhd_conntest utility (in xf86-video-radeonhd/utils/conntest) to dump your video BIOS and send it over to Luc (I CC'd him) to review it? I think you do the following: cd xf86-video-radeonhd/utils/conntest ./rhd_conntest -d It should spit out some file similar to "791F.103C.30C2.vga.rom" in that directory. The numbers in the file name will be different for you (probably like 7942.nnnn.nnnn.vga.rom, or similar). -- Coleman Kane -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
Hello, The command ./rhd_conntest -d created a file called posted.vga.rom, I put it in attachment. If I can do anything else, don't hesitate to ask me! regards, Antoine PAIRET

(late reply, no decent access to this email account - i almost died because of it too) This is definitely an avivo style modeset. There's a rather horrid, multilevel, communication problem at the basis of this hardware not being supported in our driver. And, once more, wikipedia proves itself as being one of the better sources of information out there (rs690 page) Wikipedia says that the RS600s that were created were only shipped in limited quantities. But this talks about the Abit and Asrock motherboards. There is no mention about the samsung r20 laptop there. I will add the pciids as < rs690, and i think that this will mostly work correctly. It will now take some time before i will be able to play with this hardware directly though. My apologies for this, i rather fervently wish that some massive cock-up like this never happened.

This mirrors what I have found as well.
Wikipedia says that the RS600s that were created were only shipped in limited quantities. But this talks about the Abit and Asrock motherboards. There is no mention about the samsung r20 laptop there.
Is it possible that one of these two vendors actually fabs the motherboard inside the R20? I've additionally got a Gateway notebook, but with a board made by "Arima" (according to the BIOS).

Let me know if I can help (though I don't have an RS600, just an M690T)... I feel partly responsible for opening the can of worms :).

Don't feel responsible, it should've been part of the driver months ago. Luc Verhaegen. SUSE/Novell X Driver Developer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
