On both my current kernel and the new one, grepping the config for KMS gives: CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y # CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS is not set Does that make sense? I generated the new kernel config with "make oldconfig" and chose default options everywhere (except for enabling some of the new netfilter/iptables targets). > Try booting with radeon.modeset=0 on the kernel command line No change, I'm afraid; same result, identical X server logs. > or make sure the radeon drm is loaded before starting X. My kernel in non-modular so I think that's not an issue.
