Oh, the wording confused me: (II) RADEONHD(0): Using only 262144kB of the total 1048576kB. I would have understood better if the message read "Mapping" instead of "Using".
Good point. Changing that, we got this comment too often :-)
(II) RADEONHD(0): Using 3840x1920 Framebuffer with 3840 pitch (II) RADEONHD(0): FB: Allocated ScanoutBuffer at offset 0x00008000 (size = 0x01C20000) (**) RADEONHD(0): Display dimensions: (518, 324) mm (**) RADEONHD(0): DPI set to (188, 150) ... 6. The DPI 188,150 value is totally bogus. The 'xdpyinfo' utility reports 94 x 94 with X running. Seems like it's calculating the DPI from total framebuffer size instead of actual display size. Should be a harmless cosmetic error. OK, thanks.
It not necessarily harmless - toolkits could choose weird font sizes because of this. This used to be an Xserver error, I wonder what is wrong now?
The RandR error is bogus: there is a line further up that says to ignore the randr failure message. OK, rereading the log file I see the line you refer to.
IMHO this message handling should have *long* been changed :-(
