Listed below are links to my XF86Config, XF86Config-4 and var/log/XFree86.0.log (it looks like the time zone's been reset to UTC, I'll have to correct that...). <http://www.frontiernet.net/~superluser/XF86Config> <http://www.frontiernet.net/~superluser/XF86Config-4> <http://www.frontiernet.net/~superluser/XFree86.0.log> And it didn't whine about kernel-drm.
