This looks like a bug that was introduced by linus in 2.6.13 and that I
_think_ should be fixed in the stable series, so if you get 2.6.13.x (x
= latest stable release) it should work.

2.6.13.4 does not fix it and(, as far as I skimmed it,) contains no
changes to the ati framebuffer code.

Hrm... annoying, I was sure it was fixed, I'll have to check. The bug
isn't actually in the ATI code, but in the PCI code. Well, maybe you are
hitting something else...

It seems.

The bug I'm thinking about was fixed by git commit
6821eb3b64158ec230982f4db5f027b326edd620, here's the patch. Let me know
if it helps.

This patch is contained in 2.6.13.4. It did not help.

I selected

CONFIG_FB
CONFIG_FB_RADEON
CONFIG_FB_RADEON_I2C
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT
FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE

The 2.6.12 version worked. Would it make sense to post the complete
.config?

Bye,
