The intention is that the user does not compile any drm modules included
with the kernel and use gatos drm-kernel instead. It is possible to
install gatos drm-modules into /lib/modules/..., but I would recommend to
explicitly load them (from /etc/rc.d/rc.local or by hand).
These are experimental modules after all.

I do not think gatos drm-modules work well with PCI cards (at least not
without changing some flags). They have definitely not been tested with
Radeon PCI cards. AFAIK, by default GATOS drm modules have Radeon PCIGART
disabled, same as in XFree86 4.2.0.
