Since upgrading to 2.6.12 (gentoo-sources) I've had various troubles
with video.
Firstly, up to 50% of the time my laptop "locks up" when booting,
immediately before it switches into frame buffer mode. (Just before the
two penguins appear)
Secondly, frame buffer mode gets corrupted when switching from X (using
ati-drivers) to a console. I can ssh in, but the screen remains
corrupted until I reboot.
I am using an smp kernel - gentoo-sources 2.6.12
ati-drivers 8.14.13-r1
vesafb-tng
Dell Inspiron 9100 with (as reported by lspci) ATI Technologies Inc
RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]
Anyone else had problems with similar combinations of software /
hardware?
TIA,
