Hi Ani, Hi Ben, Hi all! I'm asking for the resources to bring up the radeon card in my november- powerbook G4- could you help please? (I'm not the only one....) my SuSE PPC 7.1 is running (kernel ver 2.4.12) but some problems with the booting (only possible via OF) and with the graphics (ofonly) need some help for compiling a radeon framebuffer device (16MB) into the kernel and bringing up xfree got an ATI unknown chipset (0x4c59) rev 0, Mem @0xb8000000/27, 0xb0000000,16, I/O @0x0400/8 error from sax2 any ideas and links to sources are welcome thanx ben Am 26.11.2001 19:32:45, schrieb Kevin Hendricks <khendricks@ivey.uwo.ca>:
Hi,
Your radeon.h file is out of sync with radeonfb.c.
Please use Ani's or Ben's latest. They have both made other fixes since what I sent that should help.
You can probably get Ben's driver from his rsync site and I think you will have to ask Ani for his latest driver 0.1.3 or later. Either one would be better than mine.
Hope this helps,
Kevin

Hi,
Okay, with lots of help from Ani and Ben and starting with Ani's most recent radeon code which worked for LCDs and with a lot of testing on my Apple Flat Panel 17 connected to a Radeon Mac Edition card on the dvi port with a dviAtor adapter, I now have the DFP support for radeon frame buffer working well including parsing of the EDID block from OF.
To control all of this, I have added two additional options to the kernel parameters passed to radeonfb.c
of_edid - which means look in the OF device tree in /proc and grab the detailed timings from the EDID block
dfp - overrides the monitor detection and set MT_DFP
lcd - overrides the monitor detection and set MT_LCD
So my kernel line in yaboot.conf looks like the following:
append="video=radeon:of_edid,dfp"
..
Have fun!
Kevin
