Rconfigure and recompile the kernel: make menuconfig -> Device Drivers -> Character Devices -> Direct Rendering Manager make it a module. Or, you can just deselect it as the ati drivers provide their own drm implementation. If you leave the in-kernel version enabled as a module you will have to ensure that the drm module is not loaded when X starts This is all documented by ATI in nice html format in an "ati*" directory in /usr/share/doc/ alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
