http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4218

           Summary: Radeon fb doesn't have correct resolution for lcd screen
    Kernel Version: 2.6.x
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
             Owner: jsimmons@infradead.org
         Submitter: bart@verwilst.be


Distribution: Mandrake Linux 10.1 
Hardware Environment: HP Pavilion ze4455ea 
Software Environment:  
Problem Description:  
When in framebuffer mode, the screen is always 800*600, while it should be 
1024*768 to fit the screen nicely.. The mandrake installer itself starts up at 
800*600 too.. Maybe my laptop gives the wrong information back to the driver? 
Could this have a workaround inside the driver pretty please? 
 
Thanks a lot!  
 
Steps to reproduce:  
  
Use Pavilion laptop with radeon card i guess.. :$

Please, enable radeonfb verbose debug in the .config and send me the
log.

Ben.

Hi!

Hm, i'm not sure wether it's radeonfb or not 

----

vesafb: framebuffer at 0xe0000000, mapped to 0xdc880000, using 1875k, total 
65472k
vesafb: mode is 800x600x16, linelength=1600, pages=67
vesafb: protected mode interface info at c000:51a9
vesafb: scrolling: redraw
vesafb: Truecolor: size=0:5:6:5, shift=0:11:5:0

bytes, found (800x600, 14506 bytes, v3).
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 92x32
fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device

---

Is radeonfb a driver for vesafb? Or are they unrelated?

Could you give me some more pointers for me what i could do to test more? Or 
will enabling radeonfb debug support still be helpful?

Thanks in advance!

Be careful. Don't run radeonfb and vesa fb at the same time!!!

They are unrelated, so your problem is probably not related to
radeonfb...

So vesafb should start checking request_mem_region() again, to avoid this.
