hi, i have made some changes to the new radeonfb in kernel 2.6.4 and some changes to the DirectFB radeon driver. it no longer crashes my kernel and DirectFB seems to be accelerated for the 9100 IGP. the changes in radeonfb should not break anything and i am hoping that the DirectFB radeon driver changes won't break anything for other cards. patches coming soon.
one more thing, does fbset work with radeonfb? if so which version of radeonfb and linux kernel does it work on. thanks, alex > -----Original Message----- > From: Michel DÃnzer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, March 28, 2004 3:45 AM > To: Alex Song > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [directfb-dev] Re: radeon driver > > > On Fri, 2004-03-26 at 05:10, Alex Song wrote: > > > > i just got an ati radeon 9100 IGP motherboard and i tried > it out with > > DirectFB 0.9.20 and it makes my kernel panic. i am running > linux kernel > > 2.6.4 with the new radeonfb (radeon debug on) and with DRI > and DRM off. > > running df_dok --dfb:no-hardware is fine but with hardware > acceleration it > > crashes the kernel. i was wondering if the DirectFB radeon > driver worked for > > anybody and what kernel/hardware did they get it to work > on? i am trying to > > figure out if these issues are IGP specific or not. > > IGP chipsets have stricter requirements for setting up the > MC_FB_LOCATION, *_BASE_ADDR and DEFAULT_OFFSET registers.
