Hi Egbert, might be a stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway ;) Running plain FACTORY (without your fancy kernel package etc.), I can boot with "vga=0", then when the system is running (in runlevel 3), I can "modprobe radeon modeset=1" and I will get a beautiful 1400x1050 framebuffer. Then I can start X ("X :0 -retro") and get a nice X server. However, switching back to the text console seems to blank the screen shortly, and I still get the occasional "synchronization loss" on the built-in panel (Matthias knows what I'm talking about). Switching VT to X and back still solves this (phew! we anticipated that with kms, once the pll is screwed there would be no way to recover short of a reboot). So I guess that KMS is not working well in this setup, since some PLL is still reprogrammed (and sometimes this fails). All on an oldish ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] Now I wanted to put the module in the initrd, however, loading it from "init=/bin/bash" (I tried that first, just to make sure) gives me a kernel backtrace and basically kills the box. Is this all the fault of me not running your pimped packages or is there something more fundamentally borken on this old and incredibly slow radeon card? (the driver is so slow, that I hoped I could use KMS and then fbdev X server - it can only get faster). -- Stefan Seyfried "Theory and practice sometimes clash. And when that happens, theory loses.
