Summary: radeonfb fails with external display
Kernel Version: 2.6.11-rc2
Status: NEW
Severity: high
Owner: jsimmons at infradead.org
Submitter: schiotz at fysik.dtu.dk
Distribution: Gentoo
Hardware Environment: IBM Thinkpad T30 model 2366 with Radeon Mobility 7500
Software Environment:
Problem Description:
I place my thinkpad in a port replicator with a digital video output to a flat
screen. It works fine if I build the kernel without framebuffer, but if I build
with framebuffer (radeonfb) then the output goes to the internal screen instead.
If I build radeonfb as a module, then output switches to the internal screen
when the module is loaded.
I see it in the following kernel versions: 2.6.10, 2.6.11-rc2, 2.6.11-rc2-mm2
Strangely, if I apply the "Another whitelist patch with command line option for
forcing" from bug 3022 to the 2.6.11-rc2-mm1 kernel, then the external screen
works fine - until X starts at which point I get a black screen and a locked-up
keyboard.
