 Last time I tried, I had some problems with the radeon kernel driver
 being loaded too late (see [1]). What do you use on Ubuntu in
 /etc/modprobe.d/ or on the kernel command line ?

 Ubuntu is putting radeon.ko (+drm.ko+ttm.ko+drmkmshelper.ko) to initrd and
 loading it early in the boot. I don't know the details how it is archived.

I don't know about Ubuntu, but I managed to get radeon.ko loaded early in
the boot process on Debian by including it in the initramfs with a hook script.

It could be loaded earlier and easier, except for udev not being available to
handle the firmware loading when /etc/initramfs-tools/modules is processed.

See Debian bug 561476 [1] for my fix, and bugs 543717 [2] and 557439 [3] for
related initramfs/firmware discussion.

Bug#558290: src:xserver-xorg-video-ati: debian/rules loses shlibs substvar for xserver-xorg-video-radeon

[Paul TBBle Hampson]

Package: src:xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.12.3-1
Severity: normal


The current xserver-xorg-video-ati debian/rules file has the following lines in 
its
binary-arch rule:

dh_shlibdeps -- --warnings=6
cp -f debian/xserver-xorg-video-ati.substvars 
debian/xserver-xorg-video-radeon.substvars # xsfbs serverabi hack

This replaces the shlibs for xserver-xorg-video-radeon with the shlibs for 
xserver-xorg-video-ati,
leaving xserver-xorg-video-radeon depending on insufficiently recent versions 
of some libraries, and
missing dependancies on others.

eg. on my box, the following is the xserver-xorg-video-ati shlibs for 6.12.3:
shlibs:Depends=libc6 (= 2.2.5), libpciaccess0 (= 0)
while xserver-xorg-video-radeon gets:
shlibs:Depends=libc6 (= 2.7), libdrm2 (= 2.3.1), libpciaccess0 (= 
0.10.2)

ie. xserver-xorg-video-radeon is missing its libdrm2 dependancy.

Simply exchanging the two lines in the rules file appears to work correctly, as 
the misc:Depends
substvar is empty in both cases, and the other substvars are what the cp line 
is attempting to
insert into the radeon substvars file.

A quick look at the xsfbs rules file suggests that calling the serverabi rule 
from it with
PACAKGE set to xserver-xorg-video-radeon might be a better fix though, but I 
haven't tried this,
and I'm not totally sure that's even possible in makefile syntax.

[PATCH] Fetch clock info before setting up connectors

[Paul TBBle Hampson]

RADEONProbePLLParameters sets pll-reference_div, and
RADEONGetPanelInfoFromReg uses it.

This ensures that the former is called before the latter.

This is for branch randr-1.2, and fixes the problem that
appeared in 117220527de9fd3158f600645bcfcaf46847f45f for
BIOS-less cards.

Basically, the lack of BIOS made RADEONGetPanelInfoFromReg
fall back onto the probed reference_div, which had not yet
been probed.

I hope this formats OK, it's my first use of git-format-patch.
