    So I see conflicting info, does this support kernel 2.6.26 or not?

    Comment

      Possible using a patch, but it was deleted from phorogit. My script has it included too:



      Works directly with a system where dkms is preinstalled or installable. That means it works for Ubuntu and for Debian when



      is installed. This does _not_ fix the ABI error with Xserver 1.5.

        Code:
        i will stick with radeon 6.9.0 on my mobility 1600...its much better then this
        I thought 6.9.0 did not support compiz? Do you have compiz running on it?

          As for games, they're a recreational pass time, they should be low on the list of priorities.
          Oh please. Getting a high end graphics card is because of games. I could buy something low-end if I didn't prioritize games.

            AFAIK the changes related to Compiz were all in the drm and mesa drivers not radeon, so 6.9.0 should be OK for Compiz on 5xx if you have the right bits for the rest of the driver stack. Just be aware that the latest version of Mesa (which you probably need) also needs a very recent X server so you'll probably have to update X as well.

            The good news is that the combination seems to work quite nicely.

                I found 2 bugs on my system (Debian unstable, 32 bit, kernel 2.6.25, Radeon 3870, nearly empty xorg.conf):

                If I start my kernel with vga=31b the X Server crashes with:
                (EE) fglrx(0): PreInitDAL failed

                Backtrace:
                0: /usr/bin/X11/X(xf86SigHandler+0x7e) [0x80c914e]

                7: /usr/bin/X11/X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x21d) [0x8073a81]

                Fatal server error:
                Caught signal 11. Server aborting
                I don't know if this happens with old drivers.


                The second bug concerns suspend to disc. After the first system boot (not resuming) it's necessary to start a video. If not the system will hang on playing a video after resuming. This concerns all releases this year.

                I don't know if there is a progress with my mtrr problem under 64 bit since i'm not using 64 bit anymore.

                  Here on M76 - Mobility Radeon HD2600:

                  The second happens to me too here (with all versions of fglrx with all versions of Xorg and with all versions of the kernel but under 64bit)

                  For the first I get it even without specifying anything to the kernel! (but sure with xserver-1.4.*, with xserver 1.3 not tested, and every kernel )


                  so, what about this!?

                    No your problem seems to be different. My XServer crashes later.
