These are common problems with radeon; you might want to upgrade to the most recent kernel to get rid of them. If you wish to keep the same old kernel, recompile the kernel with the following options: * Loadable module support -> Enable loadable module support: ENABLED * Loadable module support -> Module unloading: ENABLED * Loadable module support -> Automatic kernel module loading: ENABLED The above 3 options will generally be enabled in most kernels. * File systems -> Pseudo filesystems -> Virtual memory file system support: ENABLED * Processor type and features -> MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support: ENABLED * Device drivers -> Character Devices -> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support): ENABLED OR MODULE (if you don't compile this as a module, you'll have to set "UseInternalAGPGART" to "no" in your XF86Config file) * Device drivers -> Character Devices -> (pick the correct AGP chipset option from the list, depending on your motherboard): ENABLED OR MODULE * Device drivers -> Character Devices -> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support): DISABLED For kernel version 2.4, the Device drivers section is not present; use the Characted Devices section to find the relevant options. If you are not comfortable recompiling the kernel, look it up on the net. If that doesn't help, I recommend a kernel upgrade. ./h -- http://www.embedded-tutorials.com - Linux, Embedded Systems Tutorials -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
