Bug ID 89808
Summary [Radeon 9600 r300] Xorg fails with radeonfb and KMS
Product DRI
Version unspecified
Hardware x86 (IA32)
OS Linux (All)
Status NEW
Severity normal
Priority medium
Component DRM/Radeon
Assignee dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter chris.bainbridge@gmail.com

A recent 3.19.0 kernel with radeonfb and KMS results in hang and corrupt video
display after Xorg loads. It seems that radeonfb and KMS together will not work
(?), but I could not find any information about this apart from this
discussion:

"I believe we will enforce to either have radeon KMS or radeonfb the latter
being depreciated. Note we need to wait few years (5 maybe more) before we can
do rm radeonfb at least this is my understanding of kernel rules."

So KMS and radeonfb should be mutually exclusive build options, or perhaps
radeonfb should be finally removed as suggested (the suggestion to remove it in
a few years was made in 2009)?
