Alex,
You need git master for evergreen (HD5xxx) UMS support. For KMS, you need the drm-radeon-testing branch of Dave's drm tree. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=r...
thanks for the pointers. the kernel compile fails with the following: make[1]: Entering directory `/root/src/drm-2.6' CHK include/linux/version.h CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-x86 CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh Building modules, stage 2.

WARNING: modpost: Found 1 section mismatch(es). To see full details build your kernel with: 'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y' I cloned the xf86-video-ati repository, compiled & installed the X drivers. now indeed, I seem to have initial ATI 5000 support, from Xorg.0.log: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5800 Series, ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series, ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series, ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series, ATI FirePro (FireGL) Graphics Adapter, ATI FirePro (FireGL) Graphics Adapter, ATI Radeon HD 5670, ATI Radeon HD 5570, ATI Radeon HD 5500 Series, REDWOOD, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series, CEDAR, CEDAR, CEDAR, ATI FirePro (FireGL) Graphics Adapter, ATI FirePro (FireGL) Graphics Adapter, CEDAR, ATI Radeon HD 5450, though, Mobility Radeon HD 5830 is not listed, which is the card I have. it seems to register ATOM BIOS support: (II) RADEON(0): Primary V_BIOS segment is: 0xc000 (II) RADEON(0): ATOM BIOS detected (II) RADEON(0): ATOM BIOS Rom: SubsystemVendorID: 0x103c SubsystemID: 0x7009 IOBaseAddress: 0x4000 Filename: BR35952.001 BIOS Bootup Message: BROADWAY LP HP/Quanta Nikita with DDR3 64Mx16 (II) RADEON(0): Framebuffer space used by Firmware (kb): 20 (II) RADEON(0): Start of VRAM area used by Firmware: 0xfffec (II) RADEON(0): AtomBIOS requests 20kB of VRAM scratch space (II) RADEON(0): AtomBIOS VRAM scratch base: 0xfffec I also get an error later on: (WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled (EE) RADEON(0): Acceleration initialization failed (II) RADEON(0): Acceleration disabled
Atombios command tables are found in the vbios rom on the card. The table parser is available in the ddx and drm trees.
I'm not sure I know from this what to do next. the system idles at about the same temperature now as well... is there a way to tell the actual clock speed of the GPU? is there a way to change the actual clock speed?
