We broke compatability around 3/25 when Keith extended the radeon_getparam functionality. Because this is not an actual XFree86 release, we didn't bump any version numbers. What I've done is to bring the date string up to date so we can tell if you've got the latest DRM driver. You can get this latest package from the usual place, it's called radeon-20020408-i386-Linux.tar.gz after installing this, run dmesg and check that Radeon driver is report with the latest date string: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.3.0 20020408 on minor 0 ^^^^^^^^ If it's not, then you probably have a 1.3 DRM module from before 3/25 that's causing the problem. > .... cos' I have some minimal debugging enabled - don't know anymore how I > did ;-) The radeon.o kernel module was compiled from the sources you > provide together with the binary Radeon XFree86 drivers. > Unfortunately - as you notice in the Makefile.linux - the sources are for > 2.4.x kernels only .... ;-) > > > You're the first to report this.
