           Summary: [2.6.31] Modesetting on Mobility Radeon X700 displays
                    black screen
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.31-rc1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Video(DRI)
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
        Regression: No


Using the new import of Dave Airlie's Radeon KMS DRI driver, my laptop screen
(LVDS-connected) goes blank and stays blank while using KMS and modeset=1.

Chip is a Modility Radeon X700 in a MSI Megabook M635 (also known as MS-1029)
with a Turion 64 chip running X86-64 userland from Ubuntu (in particular,
Karmic Koala and Kubuntu KDE4).  I build my own kernels from mainline to test
and will attach dmesg output, Xorg.0.log output (which also apes the Kernel's
can't inability to find the LVDS connector -- don't be confused, I'm not
complaining about X.org here), and dmesg output.  r4xx_atom does not need to be
forced: from reading the source and logs, the chip is identified as ATOMBIOS.

In my own disgnosis, I found that there is a quirk that matches this notebook
in driver/gpu/drm/atombios.c but it is not used.  Also, the drm.debug=1 option
shows that the VGA and LVDS connectors are identified but no connector is
assigned to the LVDS encoder, which I believe is why the screen is blank.
