It has the same problems with console output and mouse as 2.6.11 does
on a stock blade 100 (see #317756).  Suggestions welcome, though I
can't necessarily reboot the box soon.


Hi Dave,

Thanks for testing. Can you try tweaking you X configuration file as 
described in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-288023.html, and see if 
it helps in any way with the mouse problem? Garbled screen in console 
sounds like framebuffer problems. What videocard are you using? Did you 
try disabling the framebuffer?

The only difference between the mouse section given there and mine is
that the one I'm using under 2.6.8 has the extra lines:

Option  "Emulate3Buttons"   "true"
Option  "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"

I'll try taking them out for next time I boot, but the gentoo config
seems to be with x.org, not the debian stable server.  The kernel
mouse messages look the same as for 2.6.8.  It's a USB mouse, of
course.

Yes, it's after it (I assume) switches to the framebuffer, as I should
have made clear.

> What videocard are you using?

It's (I assume) the normal one for blade 100.  lspci says

:00:13.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27)

I should have thought to paste them before, but the relevant (?)
kernel messages for 2.6.12 are:

and 2.6.11:

2.6.8 (which is OK) says this.  Is the different MCLK the problem?

How?  I'm afraid I don't understand framebuffer stuff and doc on
kernel parameters is rather deficient...  I probably wouldn't care
much about the console anyway if the mouse was working.

Oops, did not notice that it was an X.org config. Anyway, these options
are not likely to change anything, it is probably a bug in the atyfb 
driver. As I've got the problem confirmed by Roy Bixler (I'm BCCing this 
message to him), I'll update wiki page accordingly and try to have a look 
at what have changed there. Thanks for the testing, guys.
