To check if it is a code issue or just your own build setup, I can
recommend testing the live CD from
https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa which has the latest
bits of everything from last week.

 When the radeon module loads ( I assume for flicker-free boot, I'll
 have to build it into the kernel, and not as a module ), the screen
 goes black, and I get a warning that the current mode is out of range.
 Is there some kernel arg to override the default settings? Should the
 radeon module already be detecting supported modes?
 
 Next, when X tried to load, it crashes ( with a very corrupted image -
 didn't switch back to the console and give me 'current mode out of
 range' error ... should it? ). See log at:
 http://entropy.homelinux.org/Xorg.KMS.log

Check dmesg for drm or agp related output. If it looks like AGP is
failing, try reducing the radeon.agpmode parameter value, in the worst
case down to -1 to disable AGP.

Radeon KMS testing ( RV280 )

2009-07-13 Thread Dan


Hi all. 

I've finally built a 2.6.31-rc kernel that boots. Not sure what's been
going on there. Anyway, I've been keen to test KMS  TTM stuff.
Unfortunatley, it's a double no-go. 

When the radeon module loads ( I assume for flicker-free boot, I'll have
to build it into the kernel, and not as a module ), the screen goes black,
and I get a warning that the current mode is out of range. Is there some
kernel arg to override the default settings? Should the radeon module
already be detecting supported modes? 

Next, when X tried to load, it crashes ( with a very corrupted image -
didn't switch back to the console and give me 'current mode out of range'
error ... should it? ). See log at:
http://entropy.homelinux.org/Xorg.KMS.log 

Luckily, CTRL-ALT-DEL cleanly rebooted things. 

I've built xf86-video-ati from git a little while back ( doesn't build at
the moment ). Same for mesa and xserver ( ie from a little while back -
also doesn't build at the moment ). I built libdrm with
the
--enable-radeon-experimental-api switch.
