Hi Daniel,
   I'm happy to try that, but for the record in case someone comes
along and reads this thread later, lspci shows a Radeon in the system,
so I set VIDEO_CARDS that way:

VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev radeon"

I wasn't sure about the fbdev part. I just duplicated one of my x86 boxes.

The radeon driver does load and I don't see any complaints in the log file:

MacMini X11 # lsmod
