Re: Re: New FBDev patch (a little report)

Hi, I've tested this patch (after the radeon patch update), and it's working
almost perfect with just one problem: going back from X the framebuffer
screen is completely distorted, but it can be corrected changing the depth
with fbset (-depth 8/16/32 and back to the working depth).
I have a radeon 9600 (or RV350 AP) and of course the -current- 2.6.x
driver doesn't include this PCI_ID in the code, so it "shouldn't work", but
I've added (from 2.4) the PCI_ID and some code to recognize/setup the
rv350 and the current 2.6.x driver -just- worked, I cannot use fbset to
set resolutions/depths, because it screws up the whole framebuffer. But
going back from X and to X works ok if I don't touch the framebuffer with
fbset. This is with my modified verison of the 2.6.x old driver.
IIRC there was a mail about the binary driver from ATI touching something
hidden in the chip and that I think may be the cause of this "distortion" when
switching from and to X (yes, sometimes X screws up when switching from
framebuffer, but running any GL app corrects everything in X, ej: glxgears).
So the strange thing about this is the old driver working "almost" correctly
with the binary X drivers from ATI and the new driver working flawless in 
console but destroying completely the state of the card when switching
to/from X (and of course X using binary ATI drivers).

Salu2.

Try it again. I missed a patch for the radeon.
