NetBSD-current / modular X on iMac (27-inch, mid 2011): AMD Radeon 6970M Video Card

[Benjamin Lorenz <bl%pocketservices.de@localhost>]

Hi all,

was successfully setting up NetBSD-current on my iMac. Only problem with 
modular X / xf86-video-ati-7.3.0nb1 is the resolution that only goes up to 
1920x1440 where it should be 2560x1440. 

Reading from the Linux forums this can only be achieved by using the closed 
source driver directly from AMD. I don’t want to believe this. Anyone who got 
the native resolution working with the free driver that is available from 
pkgsrc for NetBSD?

Happy to send more details of my system where required. Please respond also 
directly to me, as I still wait for approval to be added to this list. Thanks 
so much!

Best,
Benjamin
