Have a look at http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonBuildHowTo#TroubleshootingKMSproblems If you are loading the module after having already started X, then this might be the only problem. See below. > BTW: how can I get the radeon module loaded with those parameters by > default? Stopping gdm, un- and reloading the driver manually is rather > cumbersome. Edit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and add the line: radeon modeset=1 Save the file and run (as root): # update-initramfs -u Reboot, this should do it. If enabling KMS on boot does not solve your DRI problem, please report back. I had the same problem when I first installed Debian on my home computer and I have solved it, but I don't remember the exact steps I took to fix it.
