| 1 | Hi, |
| 2 | |
| 3 | I have an old HP 625 laptop with an ATI RS880 HDMI Audio [Radeon HD |
| 4 | 4200 Series] |
| 5 | chip on board. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | The xf86-video-ati driver needs DRM (direct rendering support) in the |
| 8 | kernel. |
| 9 | Unfortunately, if (and only if) I enable DRM (built in or as module) in |
| 10 | a recent kernel |
| 11 | like gentoo-sources-3.10.9, the kernel freezes with a blank screen |
| 12 | during boot, i.e. |
| 13 | long before xorg-server is started (only by hand in my case). |
| 14 | |
| 15 | So, what can I try to fix this (some IOAPIC switches on the boot |
| 16 | command line)? |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Many thanks for a hint, |
| 19 | Helmut |
