Sorry, I did not install all the packages that were built out of the new source.

I re-checked because I saw that the radeon module version is still
6.12.2 in X log.

Installing the new radeon package resolved the problem.

It is true that I technically do not need that large virtual but this
is the smallest that is going to work with a 1280x1024 and a 1024x768
display for sure. The resolution I use when the screen is set up
properly is 2048x1024 but I must get there somehow, and smaller
virtual might make that harder.

Thanks

Michal
