Maarten, thanks for the comment, although I am not sure I follow it (!) I know UMS has been dropped. I know it is never coming back. And I'm not suggesting for one minute that it should (the last version of radeon with UMS was largely broken from what I can gather).
I just need confirmation from an X expert that the current PowerPC kernel setup is unworkable. I can then get the kernel and/or boot message on the ISOs updated. As I said in post 1 we are falling back into the fbdev driver in 8 bit pseudo colour. Is there a way to get this to a higher colour depth automatically? The current kernel config would be okay if we could start automatically in a higer colour depth. In the back of my mind I think I've read somewhere that framebuffers are set to 8 bit depth to save memory for KMS. Is this true?.... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1058753 Title: Radeon driver nolonger works on PowerPC without drm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1058753/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
