Bug#748398: Bug has returned as CONFIG_FB_RADEON=y is set again
Control: unarchive -1
Control: reopen -1
Hello Ben!
I just did a dist-upgrade which also upgraded the kernel. After
rebooting the machine, X was still broken as radeonfb was loaded again
and blocked the radeon module from functioning properly.
Since the radeonfb driver is compiled into the kernel, there is
no easy way of blacklisting it except for the boot command line.
It seems your changes did not actually arrive in the kernel package:
root@test-adrian1:/boot> grep CONFIG_FB_RADEON= config-3.16*
config-3.16.0-4-powerpc:CONFIG_FB_RADEON=y
config-3.16-3-powerpc:CONFIG_FB_RADEON=y
root@test-adrian1:/boot>
Is this a mistake? It's a pretty showstopper because it forces any
installation of Debian on a PowerMac with a Radeon card to use
the fbdev driver by default which uses a very low colordepth and
has a bad performance.
