Hi list, i would like add 9600 radeon support on radeonfb driver, now i have successfully add a limited support on radeonfb driver, but i have some problem, the system boot, i see 2 penguin logo but the cursor is scared, and if use fbset to set resolution, i cant get resolution function but only a square area of the crt are in hires, the rest is dirty.

I did something similar taking parts of the radeonfb driver from 2.4.23-preX (maybe 6) into 2.6, hard coding the resolution into the code I have 1024x768 and a ugly big cursor on console, fbtv and links on framebuffer works fine, but when I switch back from XFree (using fglrx drivers from ati) the console is completely unusable no matter what can I do with fbset (seems that I missed some clock setting for the RV350).

So the very first source of support for 9600 is the working driver on 2.4.23

Sorry, I forgot to tell that the kernel I am using with radeonfb on 9600 working is 2.6.0-test8-mm1

Sal2.
