Re: radeonfb cannot map FB

x86 bioses only post the primary VGA card.  For secondary cards you'll
either need to use a driver that can initialize the card itself, or
use something like vgaarb and vbetool to post the secondary card
before loading the driver.  If you would prefer to use the radeon
card, there may be an option in the bios to use the radeon card as the
primary rather than the integrated card, however, that would probably
make the integrated card unusable.

Hi Alex,

    There is no option similar to "Init Display first" on this BIOS.
Howerver both cards must be initialized. I'm trying a radeon kernel
modesetting approach. I'll also pursue vgaarb and vbetool options.
    Thanks a lot for the information ?

Regards,
Rui
