Hello, I'm trying to run (with no effect) radeonfb on X-power Radeon 9500 non pro 128mb, which I modified to 9700 non pro. Some time ago it was loud in internet about this mod. The matter was simple soldering to unlock additional 4 rendering pipes, and a bios change to change hardwane ID's. I took bios from Hercules R9700(non pro). I tried radeonfb 0.1.8 and it always says: "cannot map FB". I tried vesafb and it doesn't print anything at all. I can use this card only in 80x25 mode on console. X works OK in any resolution, same Windows and all Windows games. Maybe it doesn't work because difference between first controller "R300 NE" and second "R300"? I don't know how it looks on not modified cards. I know there is a lot of people with such problem. Is it possible to make radeonfb work on this card? Is there any chance in future to support it?? I'll be happy to provide any information to help. Thank you, Maciek ps: Here is "lspci -vv" output.
