Ah, I see the difference - in -current radeonfb got correct
monitor ID 
data and switched to the monitor's preferred mode instead of
1024x768. 
And it used monitor ID data provided by the firmware,
apparently it had 
trouble reading them from the monitor itself. I'll adapt the
relevant 
code to 4.0

have fun
Michael

Depending on the mode, this may not work as radeonfb does
not support  
auto-stretching.

Hi,

just a quick ACK that the radeon pullup
(NetBSD-daily/netbsd-4/200705160002Z) corrects my problem.
I now get a text console in 1280x1024 ; thanks a lot.

there are two "small" bugs that still remains:
- I have to set 'Option "SWcursor"' in XF86Config
to actually see the
mouse cursor. If not, the cursor works (click, right-click,
...) expect I
just don't see in on the screen.
- When I quit X, the screen is all weird. It looks like
there is a refresh
rate issue. Like when you set a refresh rate that your
monitor doesn't
support. If I "startx" again, the console looks
good for a second then X
startx (and everything goes well). FYI on 3.1, the console
is blank (I can
still re-run startx to get X).

I refilled my /dmesg/ repo.
So you can check the new output here
http://www.tumfatig.net/dmesg/Mac%20Mini/NetBSD%204.
0_BETA2/

Regards,
   Jo
