[Problem] When attempting to play mpg videos on ATI ES1000, no video or audio output is seen, and dmesg shows a repeating sequence of:
[drm:radeon_cs_ioctl] *ERROR* Invalid command stream ! [ 3208.384341] Forbidden register 0x2140 in cs at 1 (..repeated)
[Original Description] RAM allocation to the GPU cannot be controlled via BIOS.
I also tried radeon.modeset=0 and I still don't get video.
