radeonfb: probe BIOS scratch registers for flat panel info

Hi Ani,

I tried the latest 2.4.18-pre1 radeonfb driver with the posted compile fixes (*) on my Radeon LY(M6) based laptop with Samsumg Flat Panel and it still doesn't correctly detect my flat panel.

So I had a look at the code and noticed EDID DFP detection is only used on PPC through open firmware info and DFP info is not probed on other archs.

I rememeber having the same problem with XFree 4.1.99 radeon code a couple months back but a fix was added to get the DFP info from the BIOS scratch registers. Here's a patch that adds probing of BIOS scratch registers (if available) for DFP info - same logic as in radeon XFree driver.

The patch applies on top of 2.4.18-pre2 with the radeon compile fix referenced here:

(*) http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=101046020806692&w=2

radeonfb now correctly comes up on my laptop in 1400x1050 mode.

radeonfb: ref_clk=2700, ref_div=60, xclk=16600 from BIOS
radeonfb: Failed to detect DFP panel size using EDID
radeonfb: panel ID string: Samsung LTN150P1-L02
radeonfb: detected DFP panel size from BIOS: 1400x1050
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 175x65
radeonfb: ATI Radeon M6 LY DDR SGRAM 16 MB
radeonfb: DVI port DFP monitor connected
radeonfb: CRT port no monitor connected

The only remaining problem I have is when switching from X back to the console I loose my cursor. Other virtual consoles seem to have cursors of varying colors - any ideas?
