Re: [radeonhd] AMD64 based RS690T system and RadeonHD driver almost works under FreeBSD

NoAccel should not have any effect (we presently don't have accel), IgnoreEDID is not used. I'm not sure why you were hitting the 'Failed to Unsync CRTC 1' did you run fglrx before radeonhd without rebooting?

Nope, I can't run fglrx since I am on FreeBSD/amd64. I had been switching between avivo and vesa drivers though... I am not even sure what the ramifications of that error message are. I was previously getting a pretty garbled screen (however everything else seemed to work, it just was completely unviewable). Now I get a good working display... Maybe my problem was that one of the other drivers (likely avivo?) was leaving the display in a messed-up state and I just happened to run radeonhd directly after that driver, and never tried a second time. Anyhow, I've been running radeonhd for days now, rebooting and restarting X.org numerous times. All seems well.... -- Coleman Kane -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org

I've thought about it more... One thing I did do before I got this working was that I did run the server using the VGA driver. It came up in 320x240 or a similar mode. But this was the first time I got X to display properly. This laptop never had windows installed on it (HP offers a FreeDOS option instead), so I am curious if perhaps my TFT panel or RS690 needed some extra kick (given by the vga driver) to properly display, but the radeonhd driver wasn't doing that. -- Coleman Kane -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org

This is an unbelievably common issue. I should reduce severity, as it is rather benign. Luc Verhaegen. SUSE/Novell X Driver Developer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
