Bug#270743: Please note these are in fact _two_ bugs

[Nikolaus Schulz <microschulz@web.de>]

Hi,

[ broken radeonfb ]

I might have not put it clearly: there are in fact two issues.

First, the radeonfb driver fails to determine the display panel size.
Second, due the broken if-clause I mentioned, it doesn't realize that but
assumes an absurd resolution of 8x1 pixels.

While the first _might_ be some sort of rare hardware issue that cannot
be dealt with appropriately, the second really should be fixed.

That said, is the MacOS driver source code available? If it is, perhaps
its way to manage this critical situation (detection of panel size)
could be ported to Linux.
Is it correct that Benjamin Herrenschmidt maintains the radeonfb driver?
Then maybe he should have a look at this.

Regards,
Nikolaus
