I do all kinds of weird stuff but kernel -rc releases are not one of them!). All of your options worked except for CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y. It turned out I had my firmware wrong. CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE was supposed to equal "radeon/PALM_me.bin radeon/PALM_pfp.bin radeon/SUMO_rlc.bin radeon/SUMO_uvd.vin rtlwifi/rtl18192cfw.bin". After I checked my options against yours and went through two kernel compilations, I finally have my 2 penguins and the proper resolution in X! :-) Now if only I could find out why my PC can't wake up from suspend... oh well that is for a different time and a different thread. Thank you Ken! Douglas R. Reno
