unable to have a working radeon kms framebuffer with linux-3.3-rc2 on ppc video card: Radeon X1650PRO PCIE
Is this a regression? If yes, can you bisect?
not a regression, i didn't find a working kernel release
[drm] GART: num cpu pages 131072, num gpu pages 131072
The driver detects the CPU page size as 4K, is that correct?
it's right, 4k page size
Just a curiosity, i've only two powerpc machines[1] equipped with PCIE videocards and both them are not able to boot with radeonkms. Modern PCI-E videocards are not recognized by the old linux framebuffer subsystem and they solely can be managed by the new KMS frame buffer that doesn't work properly on Power Architecture. Anyway, YDL Powerstation can fallback to use the old OpenFirmware frame buffer. KMS porting to Power Architecture machines with PCIE is it only an exercise or someone is also able to test them? Because i can understand that the userbase is non-existent and the dri-developers don't have these "rare" machines.
