Well, if you ever get it to work properly on your hw, be sure to drop me
a line. I suspect you may have missed out the 1394 stuff - I had since
it was non-obvious to me. However, although it loads fine now I just get
a green picture for a while and then it breaks down and the driver
appears to die. Must be reloaded to (not) work again. So I've probably
missed out on something further. Unless I've done something very stupid
(quite possible) it would appear that the module lacks a bit of error
handling and helpful messages.
I've tried both the gentoo included stuff and various manual patching
under 2.6.21rc2-mactel. Note: I also use suspend2 which may make life
less stable (but that part appears to work most of the time - failures
appear to be fglrx stress related). Alas, I've not had a lot of spare
time for further testing of this the last few week. Other things take
priority.
