1 Ok, I tried enabling DynamicClocks but it didn't work at first - so I
2 switched to the radeon framebuffer (was using vesa) and it works!

6 May 5 22:27:09 arthur agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device at
7 0000:00:00.0.
8 May 5 22:27:09 arthur agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:00:00.0
9 into 1x mode
10 May 5 22:27:09 arthur agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:01:00.0
11 into 1x mode
12 May 5 22:27:34 arthur vesafb: mode switch failed (eax: 0x14f)

14 However, now Im using the radeon framebuffer I can't get console
15 themes working. Do console themes work with radeonfb? Did I miss
16 something? The only thing I changed was my kernel arguments in
17 grub.conf:

22 It's obviously not critical, but it's something I'd really like to
23 have working again. Any help is appreciated .. I wouldn't ask, but
24 I've no idea where to start.

26 Thankee!
