--- Comment #15 from DEMAINE Benoit-Pierre <[email protected]> 2010-06-07 10:36:31 PDT --- 1: fglrx being installed can cause a problem ? what leads me to this simple question: since kernel could not load it, how can this driver be a problem anyway ? 2: even with an underscore, nomodeset_ disables any FB querry set by VGA= or VIDEO=. As long as this word is in the line, even with one or more underscors, nomodeset disables FB. So, I think there is a bug in the kernel, or the driver responsable to interpret this switch. If i remove nomdeset vga= and video= , kernel will automatically set FB anyway; and if not kernel, Gentoo console scripts will (and I did not find how to disable them). So, anyway, you need to tell me what to pass to kernel to prevent kernel and Gentoo scripts doing stupid things. > Try removing those entries. if kernel don't switch to FB, Gentoo scrpts will. IRC people could override this manually with nomodeset or radeon.modeset=1 . When using radeon.modeset, things were better. > From the kernel name it reads like you're using gentoo I said I am using Gentoo in the initial report ... > I would also suggest that you try the 2.6.33 or 2.6.34. A lot of work happened in the Ati driver section it's 3 months I am waiting for maintainer to push them in portage. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307123 if you like URLs. > http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Radeon page is useless because xen kernels don't apply the same set of patches. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
