21 Is the fglrx kernel module loaded? If so, does /dev/dri/card0 exist?

23 Remember that you must remerge ati-drivers each time you build a
24 kernel...and that /usr/src/linux needs to be a symlink to the
25 configured sources of your _currently_ running kernel if want to build
26 a module for that.

31 Are you using the radeon framebuffer driver (CONFIG_FB_RADEON) in the
32 kernel? If so, that is probably the issue. Try removing that, and
33 using just the standard vga/vesa framebuffer driver or even just a
34 text-mode console.
