I am using Linux 2.6.36 and a Radeon HD2600 PCIe card, has an RV630 GPU and is an ArcadeVGA card actually which has an altered BIOS to support Arcade Monitors. They are sold by a guy in the UK at the ultimarc.com website, that is where I bought it. I can load the normal radeon drm kernel module without modesetting, but with it I hit a bug in the kernel. I had to comment out the check for the ATI signature, which then it goes past that fine and detects the Atom bios information. Then in the TTM initialization of the memory it hits a null pointer. Here is the log below, I'm wondering what I should try to do to fix this and get this card working correctly with the radeon drm stuff for modesetting.

Created attachment 39640 [details] The bios of the AVGA3000 (radeon 2600 RV630) card This may help, this is the bios of this card which is modified to hold modelines that are custom made for an arcade monitor. I think there's more modified though than just that, since the radeon drm driver in KMS hits a null pointer and crashes.
Now I've confirmed it has nothing to do with the AVGA card special bios, this occurs if I flash that to be a normal Radeon HD 2600 and also on a Radeon HD 4350 pcie card too. Log below of the 4350 doing this....

I can now enable KMS mode with the newest git tree from Linux 2.6 Linus, so seems it was fixed somewhere between 2.6.36 and the current Linux git tree. `
