The cursor line on radeonfb now is solid, instead of the broken line in 2.5.66. It is still impossible to set the resolution.
The lilo approach: append="video=radeonfb:1280x1024-24@60" This seems to do nothing. I get the same low resolution as plain 2.5.66, which looks bad as it don't match the flat screen resolution.
The stty approach: stty rows 64 cols 160 gives me an odd error message about stdin being wrong. Forcing it with -F /dev/tty gives me lots of random colored text on the screen and the scrolling is wrong afterwards. Resolution don't change though. I run devfs if that matters.
stty rows 25 cols 80 brought things back to normal, or so it seemed. I switched back to X and noticed that most programs except ls wouldn't run, they all segfaulted. Something was wrong, and a shutdown ended in a BUG in slab.c line 1557 and a hang.
A new thing with this patch is that I get a lot of junk displayed to the side of the boot penguin. (Random colored letters). The junk disappear after a little while though.
