Now at 2.6.34-rc3 cruncher linux # uname -a Linux cruncher 2.6.34-rc3 #2 SMP Sat Apr 10 15:05:21 PDT 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU X 980 @ 3.33GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux cruncher linux # > >> kernel (hd0,6)/boot/bzImage-2.6.33-gentoo root=/dev/sda2 i915.modeset=1 >> Some headway. The radeon driver as well as drm_kms_helper and a number of other things are loaded and associated with the radeon driver. However early in the boot process - I think when the modeset happens because my Intel i915 does this also - the screen goes black. On the Intel the screen shifts to a smaller font. Here I'm just seeing a blank screen so far. The monitor can't find the signal and then turns off. Independent of actually getting graphics should we be able to switch fonts at this point? cruncher linux # lsmod Module Size Used by snd_hda_codec_atihdmi 2535 1 snd_hda_intel 21027 0 snd_hda_codec 65767 2 snd_hda_codec_atihdmi,snd_hda_intel radeon 633661 0 ttm 47515 1 radeon drm_kms_helper 23847 1 radeon sky2 43451 0 drm 169899 3 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper agpgart 30664 2 ttm,drm snd_hwdep 5698 1 snd_hda_codec snd_pcm 70597 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec i2c_algo_bit 4757 1 radeon cfbcopyarea 3189 1 radeon cfbimgblt 2098 1 radeon snd_timer 17697 1 snd_pcm cfbfillrect 3201 1 radeon snd 54600 5 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 6118 1 snd snd_page_alloc 7149 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm cruncher linux # > > KMS is enabled by default in 2.6.33+.

I do have libdrm and xf86-video-ati but neither show a kms flag. Again maybe that's on newer versions? I'm not against going to a testing xorg-server but a number of Gentoo people are having trouble so I wouldn't go there without a good reason. Keep in mind this is a brand new machine. I have nothing invested in terms of work on it so most anything is OK at this point if it's going to produce positive results. I'll investigate unmasking the newer stuff, but I don't see libdrm_radeon anywhere as of yet. Cheers, Mark > Alex > >> Recompiling for radeon instead of radeonhd.
