Well, I've read all the archived messages on this and tried the
suggested solutions to no avail. Machine: Quicksilver 733, Apple ATI
Radeon 7500 agp card, Apple Cinema 22" display with Apple Display
connector. Both OS 9.2.2 and 10.1.5 work fine with the card. running
YDL 2.3 (with the YDL 2.4.19-4a kernel and a few recent benh kernels -
today's bk pull fails during building the modules but earlier ones boot
fine). The results are the same. If I boot with the video=radeon:dfp
argument dmesg shows the card, but insists there is no monitor connected
(see below). I'd really like to know how to get YDL to work with this
combo. Is there some magic in OF required to get the card to recognize
that there is a display connected? Note: this machine had a Nvidia
GeForce2-MX in it earlier but I managed to trade that for the Radeon in
the hope that I could get a working X configuration.
relevant dmesg output:
