Are you using the radeon module from the kernel? If you are this could
possibly be a source of the problems. If you are using DRI CVS use the
kernel modules from the CVS tree. The kernel modules that come with the
kernel will only work properly with a release version of XFree86. Its
very likely that we have changed things in the DRI CVS tree that require
kernel module changes.
Also as long as you don't have the following lines in your XFree86
config file, you don't have to worry about removing any of the kernel
modules.
Load "drm"
Load "dri"
If those aren't there, the DRI will not activate.
