"radeonfb" where? Inthe kernel append or in the XF86Config-4 file? I have used fbset -x, but in the append I have "aty128fb" which works quite ok, using the "fbdev" as driver for X: 1024x768 nonaccel. BTW: your kernel works out of the box, when compiled and booted, without any ofonly arguments, as you were asking in another mail. > Another possibility is to use Ani Joshi parse-edid tool to directly > parse the EDID property that is somewhere in /proc/device-tree and > obtain an X modeline.
