Hi folks,

I tried to use the framebuffer console with kernel 2.6 on my A30 with a
Radeon M6 LY and a Radeon 9600 in the desktop computer. I hadn't any
luck with both the VESA and Radeon framebuffer. VESA just produces a
black screen (tried vga=0x303, 0x301, 791) and video=radeonfb only
shows ja jumping cursor on the bottom of the screen but the rest is
empty. I use 2.6.6-mm1.

Is there anyone who had more luck? A kernel config and corresponding
kernel command line would be nice.

Regards,
Tino
