It's just straight i386 (aP4) - though I am interested in what you say above, as I also have an amd64 machine running 5-STABLE with a Radeon which also will not do drm for love nor money! Got any references for that ? > Not only do you have to enable the "dri" option, you should also have a > DRI section, like: Well, I didnt have, but I added one in.

There are no references to either dri or drm in the logfiles. Will the logfile actually be written if the X server doesnt startup properly though ? Thanks for the advice. -pcf.
