Hi,

It seems you forgot to build/use a new kernel with the radeon driver.
At least, the kernel part didn't find the card. It could be a pciid
problem.

Could you execute aux/vga -v and send me the result ?

         Philippe,

Ps: I have updated the sources of the radeon driver (merged with the LCD
support by Latchesar Ionkov, added the X11 License from the X11 sources
I had to read, removed the pci_ids[] struture from the kernel part), but I
also found a bug with my radeon 8500 I'd like to fix before posting it
to the 9fans list.
