I have just bought a new laptop which has a ATI Radeon Mobility LY display
adapter. The 4.1.0 XFree86 release does not include support for this card,
but the CVS source tree does. I've downloaded cvs tree and compiled it. The
server will configure itself correctly with a XFree86 -configure command, but
the server will not run. The 'relevant' lines from XFree86 appear to be
(--) PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY rev 0, Mem @ 0xe0000000/27, 0xfcff0000/16,
I/O @ 0xc000/8
(--) Chipset ATI Radeon Mobility LY (AGP) found
(II) RADEON(0): PCI bus 1 card 0 func 0
(==) RADEON(0): Depth 8, (==) framebuffer bpp 8
(II) RADEON(0): Pixel depth = 8 bits stored in 1 byte (8 bpp pixmaps)
(==) RADEON(0): Default visual is PseudoColor
(II) RADEON(0): Using 8 bits per RGB (8 bit DAC)
(II) RADEON(0): initializing int10

(--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI Radeon Mobility LY (AGP)" (ChipID = 0x4c59)

(II) RADEON(0): VESA BIOS detected
(II) RADEON(0): VESA VBE DDC supported
(EE) RADEON(0): Failed to detect the panel size.
I'd be happy (for a while) with just the CRT screen working, so I add the
option:
Option "crt_screen" "True"
to the device section of the configuration file the but situation is unchanged.
I note from comments in the source the Flat Panel support is disabled at the
moment.
Is there anything that I can do to get the XServer to run?
Regards and thanks
Mark
