Just the radeon DRM module is disabled. It's my understanding from the
DRI team that the conflict needs to be solved by updating the radeon DRM
module to work with the newer DRI framework, but I've never looked at
the code, and don't know what would be involved in doing that.

JavaOne draws thousands of people - an X training session would be lucky
to draw 10 people.
