Re: [suse-ppc] DFP support for kernel radeonfb.c added

26 Nov 2001

      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
