Hi,
Before reporting a possible invalid bug report. Does anyone knows why radeaonfb is not configured the same way radeon is ? For instance on a PowerPC machine, when Open Firmware Frame Buffer is used (OFfb), I cannot `modprobe radeonfb` (but I can load `radeon`). It fails with:
[ 96.551486] radeonfb 0000:00:10.0: enabling device (0006 -> 0007) [ 96.551526] radeonfb 0000:00:10.0: BAR 0: can't reserve [mem 0x98000000-0x9fffffff pref] [ 96.551531] radeonfb (0000:00:10.0): cannot request region 0. [ 96.551545] radeonfb: probe of 0000:00:10.0 failed with error -16
It seems (to me) that it should be possible to add something like this to `radeonfb`:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_...
Is the above correct ?
Yes, probably. But is there any reason why you'd want to use radeonfb rather than radeon?
