ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 - Toshiba Tecra S1

[Oyvind Albrigtsen <oalbrig@ux.his.no>]

hi

i just got my toshiba tecra s1, and it's got a ati mobility radeon 9000
display adapter.

i cant get it to work. i've been searching the net for information on
how to make it work, but havent found anything that worked, except for
using the vesa driver, which makes my framebuffer screw up. i even tried
disabling the framebuffer, because some site said that would do it.

i've tried with both the "ati" and "radeon" driver
they both give me the message:

(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found



the adapter is identified as:
    VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 Lf [Rade
(rev 1).
      IRQ 5.
      Master Capable.  Latency=128.  Min Gnt=8.
      Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xa8000000 [0xafffffff].
      I/O at 0xc100 [0xc1ff].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe0010000 [0xe001ffff].
