Hi Arc,

 

I tried changing xorg.conf to "radeonhd".  That hosed things up.  

 

I built radeonhd from the instructions on wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd

 

If I use the following:

 

#system-config-display --noui --set-driver=radeonhd

 

Is that going to be ok?

 

Thanks!

Bruce

To answer my own question, NO.  

 

I got an X error.

 

Load Module: "radeonhd"

Warning, couldn't open "radeonhd"

Failed to load module "radeonhd" (module does not exist, 0)

 

So what extra steps do I take after building radeonhd?
