Question about getting the ATI XLrage working...
I tried the new ati/xlrage driver on an arima/hdama. Linuxbios reports:
ati_regbase = 0xfd002400 ati_ragexl_init: 3D RAGE (XL PCI-33MHz) [0x4752 rev 0x27] Devices initialized
Im then loading the atyfb.o framebuffer kernel module (I assume this is the right one to use). The screen then does some init and switches to a video mode the monitor seems happy with, but nothing but lines appear (much like the lines you get when X doesnt recognize the video right)
Using fbset to change video modes does seem to work, the screen resolution changes, but I cant use the fbdevice with any frame buffer test programs or with X (the lines never go away).
Im trying: (1) to get the framebuffer working as the graphical console, and (2) get this working under X.
Is there some secret to getting this working? Maybe I am missing an important step or something....
Also, Im assuming that in order to use the framebuffer as the console, I can pass "vga = 792" and "video=atyfb:mode:1024x768,font:SUN12x22" to linux when it boot.
Do I need to set CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA = 1 in Config.lb?
any help is appreciated.
