I tried an old graphics card that was lying around and ran into a problem with
the glint driver. This old message from January seems to indicate it's been
noticed before but I guess the problem is still present in 4.2.1
I tried attachign the log file but that put the message over the limit for the
list, so here's an excerpt:
(**) GLINT(2): Depth 16, (--) framebuffer bpp 16
(==) GLINT(2): RGB weight 565
(==) GLINT(2): Default visual is TrueColor
(==) GLINT(2): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
(==) GLINT(2): Using HW cursor
(--) GLINT(2): Not using Linux framebuffer device
(--) GLINT(2): Chipset: "ti_pm"
(--) GLINT(2): Linear framebuffer at 0xEE000000
(--) GLINT(2): MMIO registers at 0xEF000000
(II) Loading sub module "int10"
(II) LoadModule: "int10"
(II) Reloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a
(II) GLINT(2): Initializing int10
(II) Truncating PCI BIOS Length to 32768
(--) GLINT(2): VideoRAM: 4096 kByte
(II) Loading sub module "ramdac"
(II) LoadModule: "ramdac"
(II) Reloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libramdac.a
(==) GLINT(2): Write-combining range (0xee000000,0x400000)
(--) GLINT(2): Cannot determine IBM RAMDAC type, aborting
(II) UnloadModule: "glint"
(II) UnloadModule: "ramdac"
(II) UnloadModule: "int10"
(II) do I need RAC? Yes, I do.
(II) LoadModule: "rac"
The lspci output is attached, the relevant entry:
