I am having issues getting the radeon framebuffer to work on Debian sid. I am using a 2.6.21-5 kernel which is configured using the debian "stock" 2.6.21-2-k7 kernel's config except that I took out the paravirt option. The kernel was compiled "the Debian way" (make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image).
The modules for ATI are being compiled:
Code: Select all
> ls /lib/modules/2.6.21-5-k7-nopara-2/kernel/drivers/video/aty
aty128fb.ko atyfb.ko radeonfb.ko
Code: Select all

>modprobe radeonfb mode-option=640x480-32@60

>cat /proc/fb
(totally blank)
>dmesg | grep radeon
(also totally blank)
Can anyone point me in the right direction here? Thanks.
By the way, video card is a Radeon Xpress 1100, which lspci returns as a "01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200M]".
