Basically, make sure the int10/VBE initialization calls aren't disabled. > I did changed the kernel to include x86 bios emulation Never heard of that... if it does what it sounds like, are you able to get radeonfb working? > I thing the driver is able to talk to the card, but not sure, this > time I am getting segmentation failure.

I'm afraid so: > (--) RADEON(0): VideoRAM: 8192 kByte (64 bit SDR SDRAM) I don't think the card has only 8 MB of video RAM? I suspect this is due to the memory size register being uninitialized as 0, which causes the driver to assume it's 8 MB (because there were production M6 cards that incorrectly reported 0 instead of 8 MB). This indicates that the video BIOS hasn't initialized the card. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
