--- Comment #13 from Elmar Stellnberger estellnb@gmail.com 2011-02-12 16:41:48 --- Well; I possibly know now why it has worked with 0.0.7: The radeonhd driver wrote 'KMS is disabled.' under this particular kernel version - and it started up correctly: evidence enough that something does not work with KMS in this kernel version.- and UMS is known to work. I will try to re-test if it inspite possibly also worked with HDMI under the 0.0.7 version (though I had always been believing it was not - however I am no more absolutely sure now). However that will hardly be possible since the radeon driver or the dri xorg code now overflows the event loop as soon as i just try to boot into X (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32393).
p.s.: Will git auto-apply the patch that I can view under the given http address on the right kernel version if I invoke git with it in the right way? One more thx. for the patch! (I will now test it after having been away for some time).
