(II) RADEONHD(0): Getting BIOS copy from legacy VBIOS location
(EE) RADEONHD(0): Invalid BIOS length field
(II) RADEONHD(0): Query for AtomBIOS Init: failed
Appearantly X cannot read the VBIOS image of the the card. This is not a driver
issue but an issue of the Xserver.
The real underlying problem is that the driver is unable to obtain information
on the connector table. This information could also be hard coded in the driver
itself but to do this you'd either have to run the card in a system that can
access the VBIOS and either run X on it or dump me a copy of the BIOS or you
will have to run rhd_conntest to obtain connector information.
The latter would have to be done for each connector separately. Please consult
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd for more information.
You can also use 'rhd_conntest -d' to try and dump the BIOS. I doubt that this
will work on a later Alpha with multiple PCI hoses.
It's quite likely that the support for Alphas is broken in the current Xserver.
It used to work well and I myself stuck a lot of effort into making it work.
Unfortunately the Linux systems on all my Alphas are so stale that it's not
possible to build a later version of X. Also I can't find the time to reinstall
one of the systems with a later X even on the fastest of my Alphas.
Matt, I'm assigning this to you to provide the information requested (due to a
lack of a NEEDINFO state). Please assign this back when you have provided this.
