Hi all,

I installed kernel 2.6.2-rc3-ben1 on my YDL 3 G4 Silver, but I wasn't able =
=20
to get X running with the same configuration which works fine on 2.4.23. A =
=20
diff of the X11 log for 2.4 and 2.6 shows only smaller differences (mostly =
=20
addresses) until the lines

(II) Loading sub module "vgahw"
(II) LoadModule: "vgahw"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a
(II) Module vgahw: vendor=3D"The XFree86 Project"
        compiled for 4.3.0, module version =3D 0.1.0
        ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.6
(II) RADEON(0): vgaHWGetIOBase: hwp->IOBase is 0x03b0, hwp->PIOOffset is =
=20
0x0000
(II) RADEON(0): PCI bus 0 card 16 func 0

after which with 2.4 X11 starts to query the video card, whereas with 2.6 =
=20
it ejects with

(II) UnloadModule: "ati"
(II) UnloadModule: "vgahw"
(II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a
(II) UnloadModule: "radeon"
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

The videocard is a

[root@antares root]# lspci -s 00:10.0 -v

        Capabilities: [58] AGP version 2.0
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2

Under 2.4, the kernel boot messages for the video card are

[root@antares root]# dmesg | grep radeon
Kernel command line: root=3D/dev/hda13 hdc=3Dide-scsi =20
video=3Dradeonfb:1280x1024-24@60

radeonfb: ATI Radeon 7500 QW DDR SGRAM 32 MB
radeonfb: DVI port no monitor connected
radeonfb: CRT port DFP monitor connected

Any ideas?

Tia,

	Albrecht.
