I've already tried this both sets:
CONFIG_AGP=m
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=m
CONFIG_DRM=m
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m

and

CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=m
CONFIG_DRM=y
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m

with no success... I'll try what works for you.. thanks!!
I'll post the results as soon as I have them!

Any dmesg output?


For what I've tried until now, there's no sign of errors or weird stuff..
all looks fine..

Cheers,
Fernando
