The problem turned out to be a lack of loading the radeon DRM module. The question becomes, is the average Radeon user going to know that this needs to be done? Will a clean installation somehow determine that this will need to be done and what configuration modifications will be made to the system to ensure that the DRM module is loaded before or during XFree86 startup? To put another way, in order to have my workstation here do things the way a clean installation would have done them, what alterations should I make to ensure that the radeon drm module is loaded before XFree86 starts up? b. -- Brian J.
