@wxl and lars. You are not understanding this bug report. video=radeonfb:1024x768-32 etc is using the fbdev driver. It is not using the radeon xorg driver. If you are on PowerPC and you want to test for this bug then you need to turn off radeonfb using the video=ofonly (or video=radeonfb:off).

Just to correct my post #55, since on the logs nouveaufb looks like it is loading fine for you then you can use the fbdev driver with that. All you need to do is create an xorg.conf that specifies fbdev (don't use the nomodeset parameter). If you still get 8 bit graphics then you need to increase
