Hi Alex!

Thanks a lot for the fast response!

I see.  Makes sense...

Hmmm, is there a documentation somewhere for these parameters?  At least for 3.7.1, I don't find it in the kernel docs.

Here we go:

(I know I have to disable the radeonfb driver for the Xorg one to work, but I need *some* display output... ;-)

Please note that the Radeon card is an add-on card in the AGP slot.  I *think* Apple shipped all PowerMac3,5 boxes with this card, but I'm not sure.  Some time ago, I tested it with a different AGP (nvidia?) and a PCI card, which both worked fine on Linux, but they were not detected by Mac OS X Tiger.

Btw, if I understand the code in radeon_get_legacy_connector_info_from_table() correctly, CT_MINI_INTERNAL doesn't look like the *really* correct option.  My card doesn't have a TV output, but an analogue vga (in addition to the adc which has both digital and analogue signals).

Thanks a lot,
Albrecht.
