Understood. I for one am coming from a 100% technical POV and dislike zealotry and people who make free software a political/religious issue. The point is not whether the ATI driver is likely to work, or whether you should be using it - it's only that for the specific purpose of kernel debugging, closed source drivers cannot be present for purely technical reasons.

Understood. Thanks. If the radeon driver continues to work then I'd be happy to use it. Currently I have no errors but I do have warnings about DRM support for Radeon 9500 and higher. Probably not a big deal for me. Now, if I Can find some time I'll try to report 2.6.18-rt3 not booting. - Mark
