Comment(by ringlis):
Finally got Radeon working with newest kernel 2.6.33, libdrm-2.4.18, Xorg-
server-1.7.4, and Mesa-7.6.1.
Important kernel config parts:
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_FB_RADEON is not set
My first reboot into this kernel, lost FB bootup had to select mode=0 ie
80x24. It looks like the kernel hangs at loading the various 770*.bin
files but just wait and it will finally finish booting. It also changes
the mode from 80x24 to normal FB bootup after it finally loads all the
*.bin files.
ringlis [ ~ ]$ glxinfo

display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
server glx extensions:
GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating,

glxgears drops from 3300 fps to 240's but its a start. Still have slight
border tearing when dragging windows around the desktop.
Have fun
