Re: AAAAARGH! radeon 7500M problems
My IBM Thinkpad T30
also has the beast inside.
I kind of made it working once, but after a while it stuck and I have to
reboot the machine. A couple of re-menuconfig my kernel, I got lost, and
has not gain any success ever again.
I've use X 4.3 from experimental, and 2.6 kernel.
Once tried also in 2.4 with DRI patches.
I got console works with radeon framebuffer,
X work but no DRI. :-(
Anyone care to post kernel .config and X's XF86Config here?
I suspect at my laptop, it's an hardware bug,
WinXP has the same problem with graphic acceleration, too, it work for a
minute or two and suddenly a nice BSOD pop out and reboot the machine.
I have to disable acceleration/radeon driver at XP, and use VESA. My
god, VESA in WinXP is sooooo slowwww... and you can not even play movie
with it.
Another part where Linux excels....
