O.K. - I have put my config file at www.hollo.org/linux/XF86Config-4-ibook. This is the config with which I succeeded in making the monitor come out of sleep mode, but I can't seem to make it do even that any more. Commenting out the "UseFBDev" lines -- makes the LCD screen wavy, but CRT still doesn;t work. I'm using the radeon binaries from your website, a fairly recent benh kernel (15th September), and the radeon framebuffer is compiled into the kernel. The relavent kernel bootup messages are (the "no monitor connected" message appears whether or not an external monitor is connected at bootup): ibook kernel: radeonfb: ref_clk=2700, ref_div=12, xclk=16615 from OF ibook kernel: radeonfb: detected DFP panel size from EDID: 1024x768 ibook kernel: Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 ibook kernel: Registered "ati" backlight controller, level: 1/15 ibook kernel: radeonfb: pm reg @50, clk_pwrmgt: 13400, pll_pwrmgt: 1000007, mdll_cko: 43c ibook kernel: radeonfb: ATI Radeon M6 LY DDR SGRAM 16 MB ibook kernel: radeonfb: DVI port LCD monitor connected ibook kernel: radeonfb: CRT port no monitor connected Finally, the X startup log is: =================== X: warning; /dev/dri has unusual mode (not 755) or is not a directory. warning: process set to nice value 0 instead of -10 as requested XFree86 Version 4.2.0 (4.2 tree from Michel Dänzer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: 11 March 2002 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
