Description of problem: If I set bios to use sidebar+shared mem for video, kernel doesn't appear to grok shared memory. During boot, during graphical startup, screen is scribbled all over. If I allow boot to try to proceed, everything starts segfaulting. Apparantly, video shared memory is being scribbled on. I have just updated bios to the latest and that didn't fix the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
There's no documentation on how any of this stuff actually works, so unless ATI have a change of heart all I can recommend is to not set that in the BIOS.
