Do you mean I need to compile and enable it? Since Martin is asking a debug kernel... I think I will try both then. However, I see no radeonfb* in kernel config: In the DRI legacy drivers: #radeondrm* at drm? # ATI Radeon DRM driver and then: radeon* at pci? dev ? function ? radeondrmkmsfb* at radeonfbbus? > > It's not a DRM driver, just an accelerated framebuffer console thing. > If you have an iBook you probably used it. Good to know. Yes, I have an iBook... and there I have strange issues... will ask about that separately. It is a very young 10.0 install and I am giving priority to getting all my Intel machines updated. I am comparing how the T41 behaves, which has a more modern Radeon card. There I get a framebuffer out of the box! and without any font issue either. However, I think at the end drm is enabled there, not radeonfb.
