Folks, I have been trying to get the latest cvs-gatos-devel and latest cvs-XFree86 to work with my Radeon VE card. I have been looking at the radeon_driver and radeon_video sources inserting some debug statements. Below is my startup log, please disregard my debug-markers. Seems to have trouble with VBEInit and VBESetMode. It is able to detect NTSC for TV and that the current vbemode is 0x114, but the set fails. Any ideas? I have written linux-device drivers before and if I had the technical specs on this card, I could surely help if needed.
Also, my monitor is plugged into the digital port via the supplied adapter. TV is plugged into the S video port which adapts into composite via the supplied adapter. When setup this way, console works fine on the monitor but the text-output on the tv is scrambled. When starting X, X comes up fine on the monitor, but the TV is scrambled as always. During startup the TV flickers a few times and ends up scrambled. Vladimir has told me to set my X mode to 800X600 16 bpp at 60 hz (60.3) which I have done.
