#4523: black screen on ATI Mobility Radeon X700 ---------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: makitka | Owner: euan Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Drivers/Graphics/radeon | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: 7662 Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ---------------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by x-ist): This problem is most probably related to hardware. The VGA port is the primary one as can be seen in the syslog excerpt above, and Haiku uses it, failing to detect (or use) the built-in panel. That' why the external monitor works fine, but the panel does not. The Linux folks had that problem as well: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video- ati/+bug/22985 I'm trying to get this straight in the accelerant, and have the backlight switching on already, but the display still remains black. I wished someone with more expertise could have a look on that. Btw. does anyone know what happened to Thomas Kurschel, the author of that driver? -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/4523#comment:19> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
