You'll need kms for working > digital outputs on most evergreen cards. I got it working using only Debian packages (no need to compile the driver myself after all). * Kernel 2.6.34 from experimental * Firmware "nonfree" package from squeeze (testing) * DRM packages from experimental * Radeon driver from unstable I had to force load the radeon kernel module (added it to /etc/modules). Note that this kernel is compiled with these DRM/KMS/radeon related options: CONFIG_DRM=m CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=m CONFIG_DRM_TTM=m CONFIG_DRM_TDFX=m CONFIG_DRM_R128=m CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m # CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS is not set CONFIG_DRM_I810=m CONFIG_DRM_I830=m CONFIG_DRM_I915=m # CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS is not set CONFIG_DRM_MGA=m CONFIG_DRM_SIS=m CONFIG_DRM_VIA=m CONFIG_DRM_SAVAGE=m Version list of Debian packages: firmware-linux-nonfree/squeeze uptodate 0.24 libdrm-radeon1/experimental uptodate 2.4.20-3 libdrm2/experimental uptodate 2.4.20-3 linux-image-2.6.34-1-amd64/experimental uptodate 2.6.34-1~experimental.2 xserver-xorg-video-radeon/unstable uptodate 1:6.13.0-2 No special X11 configuration was required. At this point it works nicely. One weird thing still happens: When I log out, the X server gets restarted. It displays the login screen on my laptop. One second later the external monitor displays a chaotic horizontal line pattern that appears to scroll vertically. After logging in the external monitor goes blank (laptop screen works). I can get the external monitor back to work normally using xrandr so I'm not fussed. Thanks for your help and for all the great work on the driver, Alex! -- 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
