Hello to everybody
I'm posting a new patch for everybody who has the same problem on the new
iBook G4.
The first time my iBook booted with linux I had the "flickering screen"
problem with a Gentoo live cd. After installing a Debian Sarge beta4 CD, the
screen got black because of the old radeonfb support in the kernel. I always
booted with the video=ofonly option, trying many times to start X.
I upgraded to sid, and then:
- installed the dri trunks (doesn't solve the problem)
- compiled the 2.6.6 vanilla kernel (doesn't solve the problem)
I was getting crazy because my XFree86.log was O.K.!
I always knew it was a framebuffer problem. I booted with the radeonfb (black
screen), then logged in blindly and started x, it worked but the screen was
quite black, had to be "turned on" with the buttons of pbbuttonsd, but was
flickering.
I looked into the code of the patches (radeon-IGP, the benjamin one and other
one found here on the mailing list), and made a cumulative one to avoid
undeclared functions and bits of code shared in the patches.
Everything goes ok!!! I tried it on a 2.6.6 vanilla kernel, but it
was made for a 2.6.4 so it has to work on it.
Don't append anything like video=xxx, the radeon framebuffer will be used.
