It never is, unless you need a new kernel. :) > Just reload radeon.o or restart X ;-) The latter won't do as kernel modules don't get unloaded automatically. As a sidenote, the original problem has been documented in /usr/share/doc/xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk/README.Debian for a long time, and it wouldn't have occurred (as confusingly) with a 2.6 kernel because it would have refused to load the incompatible module. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
