Hi,
I am trying to connect an Apple 17' LDC to a Radeon Mac Edition
card (AGP) through a dviAtor adapter. I have downloaded and
installed the benh 2.4.18-pre8-ben0 kernel with radeon support.
When I try to boot using the video=radeon kenel option, however,
the display goes dark. The log messages don't seem to indicate a
problem:
Feb 9 10:17:47 kunuc3 kernel: Kernel command line: root=/dev/hda11
video=radeon
Feb 9 10:17:48 kunuc3 kernel: radeonfb: ref_clk=2700, ref_div=67,
xclk=16615 from OF
Feb 9 10:17:48 kunuc3 kernel: radeonfb: detected DFP panel size from
EDID: 1280x1024
Feb 9 10:17:48 kunuc3 kernel: radeonfb: ATI Radeon QD DDR SGRAM 32 MB
Feb 9 10:17:48 kunuc3 kernel: radeonfb: CRT port DFP monitor connected

Has anyone gotten this to work? Besides the updated kernel (which also
enabled sound
on my 733MHz G4--another issue), I am running with a standard Yellowdog
2.1 distribution with
yup updates.

Thanks for any suggestions .... Steve
