Hi,
I want to report a bug in the Linux kernel 2.6.38. Loading the radeon
module causes the console to go completely blank (laptop backlight on,
but nothing displayed). The system still responds to ctrl-alt-del and
reboots. This is a regression from the previous kernel, 2.6.37.4, where
kernel mode setting works flawlessly.
With radeon.modeset=0, or with the module blacklisted, the system boots
fine, and I can use X, but without the powersaving features available
through KMS.
System: Toshiba Satellite A305-S6916
Graphics: ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3650
Kernel: 2.6.38 (x86_64)
