i have some good news to share. I get a working configuration using kernel 2.6.32rc8, drivers from https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/drivers-only and modified gdm.conf file from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/RadeonKMS Everything else to karmic's default (even the splash option at boot time).
OT question: Is it possible to specify somewhere the boot video resolution? it starts with 1280x1...@60 and then modified after login by gnome to 1280x1...@75. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => In Progress -- [xorg-edgers] Radeon dri2 not working with kernel 2.6.32rc7 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/482277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
