how the "drm.ko" is loaded ?
Thats a very good question! I am not loading it myself
explicitly anyhere, so my guess is that xorg is loading it.
On the machine right now (which I was using with X11 yesterday)
it only has drm2 loaded - again, I assume from starting

Just to add to this, the conflicts involve kernel mode switching
between the scfb driver and the AMD driver. H

P.S. I can pretty guarantee you that you do NOT need to build a custom
kernel. I have an A10 series CPU with onboard Radeon R7 graphics. So
again, if amdgpu isn't working, try radeonkms instead. Maybe that will
fix your problem.
Also, are you booting using UEFI or Legacy / BIOS mode?

Well, I have one other suggestion, but this is just completely
guesswork on my part. However, I ran into a problem where the "amdgpu"
module did not work, though I can't remember the exact error messages I
got.
You mentioned you had the ATI driver installed in X. Given that, are
you sure amdgpu is
I dont have any other drm ports installed though - I think te clash is
with the ones which are part of the standard kernel build maybe ?
Possibly I could try building a custom kernel without them, but first am
going to go susbscribe to x11 amiling list and see what they say.

I agree it sounds like a clash with older modules. Did you have
drm-stable-kmod installed or drm-legacy-kmod installed? If so, make
sure you remove them before. Sounds to me like what is probably
happening is you have modules from two different drm ports installed.
So I'd try a make deinstall insid
