I have a almost identical problem with my radeon card and KMS. |
| 14 |
If I build radeon not as a module but inside I only see a black screen |
| 15 |
and the system hangs. |
| 16 |
Firmware is correctly build into the kernel (I switched from an older |
| 17 |
radeon card where everything worked so I know what to do) but it does |
| 18 |
not work. |

I have to build radeon as a module and load it at startup. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
In /etc/conf.d/modules I have |
| 23 |
module_radeon_args="modeset=1" |
| 24 |
so that KMS gets loaded. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
With that setup everything works "just fine" (short of a flicker when |
| 27 |
KMS gets started) so I keep it that way for now. |

Maybe that works for you too. It is worth a try. |
