How to enable kms as early mode?

aeonlove · 2010-10-11 20:38:18

when I add "radeon" to the hook array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.

FATAL: Hook 'radeon' can not be found.

I'm sure I have installed xf86-video-ati and the kernel enabled kms

 CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y

It seems working well even if I don't add video=1920x1080 to grub.cfg, but I'd like an Early KMS start.
Anyone knows?

Did you take a look into the wiki? http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI … _.28KMS.29

Yes , I did.
By the way, my video card is ati HD 4830

Just put radeon to MODULES array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and regenerate the initramfs image by mkinitcpio -p kernel26.

Remove radeon from HOOKS array.

Remove it, how can I enable early kms start?

It should automatically in next boot.

aeonlove · 2010-10-11 22:19:44

Yes, It is, but you sure that is early start?
Anyways, there is an another question.
Can fbcondecor load image without fbsplash?

Dogmeat · 2010-10-11 22:27:16

I use fbsplash with fbsplash-theme-arch-black on one computer without fbcondecor patches and stuff. It works fine.

Update: Now i realised that you meant the opposite what i just wrote. But it's easy to set up fbsplash.

fbsplash works well when I put vga=792, but not kms mode.
My screen is 1920x1080.

I think the HOOK stuff isn't needed anymore, somehow i just added radeon to the MODULES in the mkinitcpio.conf and it worked without complaining about firmware or any other weird stuff.

What's this warning?

Check your fbslash configuration in /etc/conf.d/splash and try to use a different theme. Then rebuild the initramfs image.
