From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Epiphany/1.0.4 Description of problem: Tested with this kernel in rawhide, and also with a few ones from Arjan that I have tested in the past, with all, radeonfb module simply does not work. Means that 'modprobe radeonfb' do not give me the framebuffer. No oopses, no errors, it seems to be loaded, but does not do anything. Trying to unload it once crashed my system, never tried anymore. With vanilla kernel it works well and gives me a nice 200x75 console. With Arjan's, once I compiled radeonfb builtin and it worked, recompiled as a module, and does not. BTW, with my 2.4, loading radeonfb after X has started make it hang, so I do not try it after X anymore. It may be problematic as you cannot put the modprobe line in rc.local. Should add it in the very first lines of rc.sysinit. Oops, nonsense... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.0-0.test11.1.9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. init 1 2. modprobe radeonfb 3. Actual Results: nothing interesting happens Expected Results: a framebuffer console appears Additional info:
I can confirm this bug for 2.6.0-1.109 and 2.6.0-1.23, altough I've never tested with a vanilla kernel. I build radeonfb into the kernel and pass the following command line parameter: video=radeonfb:1024x768-8@85 Used to work fine with earlier 2.5.x kernels.
still a problem with current kernels ?
Works for me with latest FC2 kernel. Closing.
