[ltp] Re: radeon driver load ?

[Dan Sawyer]

All,

Some progress - the howto in thinkpad wiki has config parms and radeonrb 
is loading and running.

Does anyone know where the list of radeon Options is defined? The howto 
refers to a force_sleep option. How can this be set in modprobe.conf?

Thanks - Dan
