Here is my cliff's note version: Dependencies for building: pacman -Sy libdrm lib32-libdrm Get and build drm, copy new libs to proper location: git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm drm cd drm/linux-core git checkout -b r6xx-r7xx-support origin/r6xx-r7xx-support make radeon.o drm.o (*as root*) sudo cp radeon.ko /lib/modules/2.6.29-ARCH/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.ko sudo cp drm.ko /lib/modules/2.6.29-ARCH/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko Get build and install the latest radeonhd driver: git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd radeonhd/ cd radeonhd/ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr make (*as root*) make install (REBOOT) **The radeon driver is notorius for leaving bits of itself in memory even after rmmod and modprobe..., so just reboot. -- David C.
