Whoa, that panel information looks... odd. :^) I never knew
ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ made laptop display panels... and at 65535x65535
your computer's screen would have to be several meters on a side. I'm going
to take a wild guess here and say that this information is bogus.
Do you get the same information in Red Hat 9's XFree86's log?
What version of XFree86 comes with Red Hat 9? 4.3.0?
Try this:
$ nm /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o |
grep xf86SetDDCproperties
Tell us what results. On my system, I get
U xf86SetDDCproperties
Since my man page for nm(1) is entirely inadequate, I am forced to guess that
U means it's undefined in the .o file but is utilized by one of the functions
actually in the .o file. Besides, there's no address listed.
However, /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libddc.a defines this symbol.
$ nm /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libddc.a |
grep xf86SetDDCproperties
00000000 T xf86SetDDCproperties
At least, I guess that means it's defined. What does T mean, anyway? It's a
strong symbol, or something like that...? Where can I get help deciphering
nm's output?
Anyway, check to see if you have /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libddc.a. Try adding
Load "ddc" in your Section "Module" entry at the top of your XF86Config file.
Finally, there are no Modes lines in the SubSection "Display" entries near the
end of your XF86Config file. I'm probably wrong here, but in my experience
XFree86 can't run without some mode selections. It might be capable of
choosing a default color depth, but I don't know for sure, so I always put a
DefaultDepth line in each of my Section "Screen" entries.
