My fbset -i output is:

# D: 64.998 MHz, H: 48.362 kHz, V: 60.002 Hz

OK. I have a card that is identified during startup as a ATI Radeon
LY. I have confirmed that the radeonfb kernel module is loaded. The
vesafb kernel module is NOT loaded.
I have checked the vendor and device ID of the chip in this system
against the dev_table structure in gfxdrivers/radeon/radeon.c. The name
field contains "Radeon Mobility M6 LY".
My config log contains:
config.status:987: creating gfxdrivers/radeon/Makefile
and
Building Graphics Drivers:
3Dfx Voodoo yes
ATI Mach64 yes
ATI Radeon yes
ATI Rage 128 yes
ATI R200 yes
So, I haven't been able to figure out why I'm not getting radeon
acceleration. I can't even tell that it is attempting to use the
radeon. I have the feeling I'm missing something obvious here. Do I
need to tell something to use the radeon specifically, or is it just
supposed to autodetect what driver to use? Can I force it instead of
allowing auto detection?
