I always build my own kernels and exactly for cases like, I know why: I can simply embed the needed 2 RV610 firmware files in the kernel binary and compile the radeon drm driver into the kernel. No initrd. A framebuffer at a very early point. Really great :) Ok, nothing that Debian can adapt. BTW: I set grub2 to textmode console because a) there is no difference to the graphics mode and b) it is MUCH faster (the graphics mode is reeeeaaaalllly slow). It seems I need to recompile the xorg radeon driver to get KMS support. libdrm-radeon1 package is not in Debian because then mesa fails to compile when the headers from linux-libc-dev < 2.6.32 are installed. So, getting the Debian source packages libdrm, mesa and xserver-xorg-video-ati, compiling them and installing the binary packages should be it. A matter of time until Debian has that without recompiling :) HS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev -- _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list Dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
