If you do remember correctly, this must have been an older version of xserver-xorg-video-radeon, which still allowed starting up in UMS mode when the radeon kernel module was loaded too late. > (II) [KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported. > (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed because of a version > mismatch. > [dri] This chipset requires a kernel module version of 1.17.0, > [dri] but the kernel reports a version of 2.11.0.[dri] Make sure your module > is loaded prior to starting X, and > [dri] that this driver was built with support for KMS. > [dri] Aborting. > (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. This is the current version preventing that. This should only happen once, if you try again it should work. The question is why the radeon kernel module isn't loaded earlier by udev for you. Usually that's due to stale configuration files blacklisting it. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
