Package: kernel-source-2.6.10
Version: 2.6.10-5
Severity: wishlist


Good day,

Radeonfb and offb are builtin but rivafb is not.

I don't know why but it seems that rivafb can't take over from offb
even with video=rivafb kernel parameter.

So this mean that on my 12" powerbook I can only used offb which is not
so good because then I don't have any backlight control and It reduce a
lot my battery's autonomy.

I have recompile kernel-image-2.6.10 with CONFIG_FB_RIVA=y and it works
nice.

Regards.

Backlight control works fine with Debian 2.6.15 on my 12" powerbook.
