I think the radeon.o module version error is because you need to
load the drm-kernel module from the gatos site. Make sure that
you do _not_ have the ATI Radeon drm driver built into the kernel
(under Character devices -> DRM 4.1 drivers in linux-2.4.19), and
that if you compiled this same option as a module (radeon.o) that
it is not loaded. Then follow the instructions here:
http://gatos.sourceforge.net/drm-kernel.php

I haven't tried this, but I think you'll want the km module from
the gatos site:
http://gatos.sourceforge.net/km.php
and then AVview for the application to use.
