After reading that wiki page I tried the following:

Boot an Ubuntu Intrepid Live CD. When the monitor goes blank get to a console
by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1.

Copy the driver radeon_drv.so that I compiled from the git source to where the
older radeon_drv.so that is included in Intrepid is located. After doing this
GDM starts correctly with the resolution 2048x1536.
While using the functioning radeon driver in this working resolution I run the
command "./avivotool regs all" as root and I'm attaching the output of this as
the file "regdump_avivotool_good_2048x1536.txt".

After doing this I tried changing the resolution to 1024x768 by running the
following command:

   $ xrandr -display :0.0 --output DVI-0 --mode 1024x768

This causes the monitor to go blank and I get to a console by pressing
Ctrl+Alt+F1.

>From this console I run the command "./avivotool regs all" again to get a dump
of the registers running a non-working resolution. I'm attaching the output of
this as the file "regdump_avivotool_broke_1024x768.txt".

Now I wish to get back to the working resolution (2048x1536) so I run the exact
same command as the above xrandr-command only changing the "mode" option to
2048x1536:

   $ xrandr -display :0.0 --output DVI-0 --mode 2048x1536
   xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed

I then try running that command again specifying the refresh rate as well, it
generates the same output:

   $ xrandr -display :0.0 --output DVI-0 --mode 2048x1536 --rate 60
   xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed

After running these two commands I ran the command "xrandr --verbose", it still
reports the resolution as being 1024x768. I'm attaching the output of this
command as "xrand-verbose.txt".

I hope you can get some usablwe information from this, I wasn't quite sure what
else to include.


Regards,

Rune
