mainline and resend, with a full changelog and signed-off-by:?Thanks. I can send you what I'm using here, but I really don't think that it's suitable for mainline. With the recent progress with the in-kernel modesetting (hi Jerome :D) radeonfb is going away soon, replaced with a generic "drmfb".
I agree. There is little point in adding more support to radeonfb at this stage. It's on life support, in order to provide the basic console for machines without VGA text mode such as powermacs, but it will be replaced by the new stuff from Jerome soon enough.
