Name : x11-driver-video-ati Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version : 7.0.0 Vendor: Mageia.Org
Release : 2.mga3 Build Date: Mon Nov 26 15:52:14 2012
Note to all ati users...
Beginning with 7.0.0 series, this driver is KMS only.
so UMS mode ("nokms") is no more useful with this driver....
IIRC we will also need to update display_driver_helper (and maybe drakx)
to cope with this fact...
I'll disable the hack in display_driver_helper...
But should we now have ldetect-lst fallback to vesa on all radeon cards
if no fw installed ("DRIVER_NO_FIRMWARE vesa")?
According to the kernel driver code (AFAICS, that is) it should fallback
to no acceleration in case of no firmware, but at least some time ago
that apparently didn't happen properly...
I think we need to fallback to vesa, as it does not matter if the kernel
part works without firmware in ums mode, as the x11 driver wont support
it anyway, making the x11-server start fail .
