On my Thinkpad X31 with a Radeon Mobility M6 LY I see a major regression going from 2.6.11-rc3 to rc4. With rc-4, the frame buffer console (using "video=radeonfb:[EMAIL PROTECTED]") comes up as 640x480 expanded to 1024x768. The inability of ACPI suspend to turn off the backlight also returns. Using rc-3, frame buffer console works fine and suspend/resume appears to work reliably without needing radeontool to turn off the backlight (as long as I do it from X.org X). -- Dr. Vincent C.
