Thanks! Adam, So if you are on ATI hardware is a newer kernel needed to go along with those libdrm changes? Also what about plymouth (1), it seems a newer version of it is required if you get a newer kernel. I ran into a problem with the older plymouth with getting a black screen on boot and was able to work around it by either upgrading plymouth or removing rhgb from the kernel line in grub.
