Talk:Radeon

= Porting to Official Wiki = Telling us "For the best performance with modern drivers, make sure Gallium is selected." is nice, but please explain HOW selecting Gallium can be accomp[lished!

I have been maintaining this page for about a year now, [] (Note: not all intermediate edits are mine), and want to port the article to the official wiki at wiki.gentoo.org. Can any past editors with objections to re-licensing please contact me or comment here. PMs to major editors are on their way. Hangfire 15:09, 21 November 2011 (GMT)

out of date and incomplete
I'm going to work on getting this article to actually be complete. I had to add steps to this such as adding radeon to VIDEO_CARDS in /etc/make.conf, recompiling mesa, removing references to other driver installations such as nvidia, nouveau, or fglrx, etc. Large edits incoming. Any problems, post here. --Jbdubbs 04:13, 5 January 2012 (GMT)

I have a "problem": Graphics were broken until I enabled CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE in the kernel (3.2.12-gentoo). After that your instructions worked right fine (thanks)! --AnonymousCoward Thu Jul 19 17:51:14 EDT 2012


 * That's excellent - I've been away from my radeon machine for a while, and the article has suffered for it. Please make a re-licensing statement on your User Page (if you're okay with that), so that your edits can be ported to the official wiki. See the News on the Main Page and the Discussion for more info. Hangfire 13:37, 7 January 2012 (GMT)


 * Where are you porting this to? I don't see any of the same information on the official wiki.  Are you making a new article or taking over the one that's there?--Jbdubbs 18:42, 7 January 2012 (GMT)


 * It hasn't been done (or even started) yet. 82.14.76.29 00:57, 15 January 2012 (GMT)

Troubleshooting (lm_sensors)
You may also need apply this patch to declare certain I2C bus connected to graphic card as hardware monitoring capable. Otherwise hardware monitoring driver will not probe any sensors on this bus. See kernel bugzilla for more details. drivers/video/aty/radeon_i2c.c


 * Fixed since 2011-03. Hangfire 13:39, 7 January 2012 (GMT)
