No, I don't have frame buffer support and I have a ATI Radeon 8500 graphics
card. The only solution that comes to mind, and don't hade me if it is stupid,
is that I have to re-compile X, Gnome or both with the new kernel.
I would guess that you should not have to re-compile X or Gnome. If you have an ATI card, I don't have any personal experience with potential problems, but here's something else (you might already have done) I thought might be a cause of your current problem. Check if your kernel has the ATI chipset support compiled in with the command
zgrep CONFIG_AGP_ATI /proc/config.gz
or else (if /proc/config.gz doesn't exist)
grep CONFIG_AGP_ATI .config
in your 2.6.0 source directory.
Also check for CONFIG_DRM & CONFIG_DRM_RADEON in the same way. All of these options are required for X to work with hardware acceleration of an ATI Radeon card.
Wish you luck, Conway S. Smith
OT P.S. The /proc/config.gz file is a new feature of the 2.6 kernels that I think is a great idea. It shows the kernel config file that was used to compile the currently running kernel. But it is optional, and may not exist on all systems.
