Re: part deux Re: Radeon 7000 in 9500 - which slot?

It is not detecting the heads properly because on many "mac" radeons, the
firmware doesn't initialize the SCRATCH registers properly which contain
information about display type.  There is no reliable method of probing
display type on ppc so I will end up adding a display type option to
radeonfb next version.

Sounds like until you have a chance to do this, I'm outta luck on
accelerated video. Keep me in mind for beta testing, please :-) Can I
assume I will be able to use the card with offb as usual? What about
dual monitors with xinerama - should that still work, albeit
unaccelerated?

Odd... surely there's no way I'm the only one with Mac and a 7000,
eh? Wonder why I never ran across this issue in searching the
archives... the only citation I found was the issue about it being in
the top slot, but I had the impression that the correspondent had it
working... will go look that up again.
