I have the same problem with 2.5 / 2.6-test kernels with my 7500 mobility. In my case the framebuffer does not autodetect correctly (I get a very distorted display), and only lower resolutions work properly if I hand-pick them. The 2.4 series framebuffer works like a charm without any kernel arguments! I did try to follow the differences in the radeon framebuffer code, but a whole bunch of settings and defaults have changed, and I lost my way. Anybody know more about this? I feel I didn't get enough concrete debug info to report it to the appropriate list. Gwendolyn. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
