<pre>Hey Christian Konig, thanks for all your hard work on the driver, I've been

title="NEW - iMac11,1 (RV770/M98L [Mobility Radeon HD 4850]) needs nomodeset to boot"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=98046">bug 98046</a> which details something similar, and have seen your work on
improving the pll code, which I have been examining to see if I can understand
more about this situation, but I'm a noob with graphics processing at this
level.

href="show_bug.cgi?id=98046">bug 98046</a> has examined the pll issue and has
resorted to forcing the install of kernel 3.13.0-117-generic. He has traced
the bad commit to 32167016076f714f0e35e287fbead7de0f1fb179
I'm afraid I haven't done any git bisecting of kernels etc and don't even know
how, yet, to look up what this commit is - I have some reading to do; I'd like
to learn.
This is affecting my imac 2009, which for me was some outlay, as I don't work,
and with its virtually unchangeable graphics card is really getting my goat, as
I'd really been looking forward to using wayland.</pre>
