Rconfigure and recompile the kernel: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
make menuconfig -> Device Drivers -> Character Devices -> Direct |
| 17 |
Rendering Manager |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
make it a module. Or, you can just deselect it as the ati drivers |
| 20 |
provide their own drm implementation. If you leave the in-kernel |
| 21 |
version enabled as a module you will have to ensure that the drm module |
| 22 |
is not loaded when X starts |

This is all documented by ATI in nice html format in an "ati*" directory |
| 25 |
in /usr/share/doc/ |
