Hey list,

I was trying to find a patch fixing the problem of radeonfb with highmem,
but failed miserably. Is there any patch out there that deals with the problem for 2.6.x?

TIA,

marek

Hi ther,

I don't know is there something like this, but I join with your problem and ask for:

1. Patch for svgalib on radeon_9000 (rv250if and above).
2. Patch for fglrx ATI binary module when hardware rendering is on.

Take care.

This is because of the radeonfb driver ioremapping the framebuffer memeory whichcan be really big. Once the driver is fully accelerated then we can remove the ioremap function in the driver.

I see, is there any ETA for that to happen? And, if you need some testing - I will be glad to help
