I conclude further tests.
* Linux 2.6.35-rc2
- fbcon:radeondrmfb using "modprobe radeon modeset=1"
- sound ok
- Xorg (7.4) with 'radeonhd'
- fbcon ok, no sound in Xorg - I figure radeonhd is obsolete
- Xorg with 'radeon'
- fbcon ok, xorg ok.
There is a small breakdown when switching between fbcon and xorg
* Linux 188.8.131.52
- like 2.6.35-rc2, but had a bug that prevented radeon.ko to go into
graphics mode when initially loaded; workaround: modprobe fglrx;
rmmod fglrx; modprobe radeon modeset=1
- or fglrx, also makes sound work
- fglrx bug aside: switching from Xorg to console (either 80x25 or
radeondrmfb) makes a fugly "pop" noise, and if the target is
radeomdrmfb, display is garbled.
So I'm happy.
Conclusive questions however:
* Why is it that I am only allowed to have sound in graphics mode?
* The radeon.ko module does not have any PCI IDs defined, thus does not
get autoloaded like i915.ko. Is this intentional? It also seems
to default to modeset=0.
