Description Andrew Randrianasulu 2009-04-19 09:02:03 UTC
Not sure if you accept bugs in radeon/KMS code, but because it was working before (when radeon KMS in Airlied's tree was based on 2.6.27-something) and now it broke n ... just for not losing this case i will enter some details here. 



My hardware:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE] (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
        Subsystem: Hightech Information System Ltd. Excalibur 9200SE VIVO 128M
        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
        Memory at c8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
        I/O ports at b800 [size=256]
        Memory at d7ef0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        Expansion ROM at d7ec0000 [disabled] [size=128K]
        Capabilities: [58] AGP version 2.0
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
        Kernel driver in use: radeon
        Kernel modules: radeonfb

It works fine with current xf86-video-ati, with single VGA output connected to CRT monitor.

I have drm-rawhide tree, up to commit 5d9a97d1d81e5d0c0115e01d7a1cf7b3f72b3c0d "Author: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>
Date:   Fri Apr 17 20:49:35 2009 +1000

    drm: add missing helper commit"

Kernel compiles and boots fine, but if i load radeon.ko with modeset=1 parameter i got only black screen (but it doesn't saying "No signal")

Looks like AGP working OK, guessing from "[drm] writeback test succeeded in 1 usecs" line .. I can be wrong here.

Sorry, it was configuration issue. If i ran "modprobe fbcon" manually - it works.
