On my laptop with a Mobility Radeon M7 on I noticed the same problem
after a kernel recompilation (2.6 series ~x86 flag); that is I had
Direct Rendering switched off.
I was compiling AGP as a kernel module.
Actually I solved the problem compiling AGP directly in the kernel with
the chipset code too.
I'm also using x11-drm to obtain the correct Radeon driver compiled as a
module.
Ok, good.. I'll do the same!! That or leave it radeon as module and not built in as it is now.
Hopefully I'll have time to try that this afternoon.
I'm using x11-drm because the HOWTO mentioned that for 2.6-kernel it should be..
If the first option doesn't solve my problem, I'll also give x11-drm a try...
I made an attempt to use ati-drivers package but I found that it doesn't
complain my card anymore.
Yah, same problem here!
Cheers,
Fernando
