Re: 2.6.13 ati (ibook) frambuffer problem

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?
Nope. What may help is a bit more debugging. For example, does the
kernel actually boots if you add "video=ofonly" to the kernel command
line.

Next would be to hack kernel/printk.c to call btext_drawstring() on the
printk buffer, though you'd have to add a global variable "foo" that you
test before doing that, and only set it to 1 from pmac_setup_arch() in
arch/ppc/platforms/pmac_setup.c
