Because the instructions need a serious rewrite. Anyways, this fails for me. Building a kernel with ``options drm'' fails (with some undefined reference errors). Using an ``options drm''-free kernel, X fails to start due to ``(EE) RADEON(0): Kernel modesetting setup failed'', but there's also a notable ``(II) RADEON(0): Kernel too old missing accel information, assuming accel is working'' (does that imply that ``options drm'' has to be fixed before I should try anything else?). I have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file containing ``Driver "radeon"''. If I remove the xorg.conf file, then I also get ``(EE) LoadModule: Module fbdevhw does not have a fbdevhwModuleData data object.''. I can add a stupid export entry to the fbdevhwstub.c file of the xorg-server port, to make that particular error go away, but I still get ``(EE) RADEON(0): Kernel modesetting setup failed''. I'm using a Radeon 9600 card.
