Hi,

Since xorg 6.9 I have been having trouble in my powerbook and the ATI
driver. I have follow some of the threads but still I get my X freeze.

"dmesg | grep drm" gets this:

[drm] Initialized radeon 1.19.0 20050911 on minor 0:

I have the kernel 2.6.15.1. I enable the DRM modules from the kernel
(radeon, my video card  is "0000:00:10.0 VGA compatible controller:
ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]"

I have this erros in the log of Xorg:

".................

(II) Loading sub module "drm"
(II) LoadModule: "drm"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libdrm.so

I would appreciate as much help as  possible.
Thanks for your time.

Orlando.
