Dave, Thanks. I'll switch back to radeon. As for my kernel I'm on gentoo-sources-2.6.33-r1 which is the newest available through portage. Are you suggesting I have to go checkout something from kernel.org to make this work? I've got the Radeon KMS stuff set as modular. Do I need to enable it at boot time? On my i915 I do it like this in grub: kernel (hd0,6)/boot/bzImage-2.6.33-gentoo root=/dev/sda2 i915.modeset=1 Recompiling for radeon instead of radeonhd. Back in awhile.
