I recently tried to install the DRM drivers and ended up getting a completely blank screen when I rebooted. I was able to use a rescue CD and run the install script in restore mode to undo the installation. I'm really interested in helping this project. If there is any information that I can provide to help the developers to resolve the issue I'd be happy to send it. I've only been using Linux for about 6 months now but I'm already in love with it. I need DRM to make Cedega run well though. Here's what I'm using: Fedora Core 5 Radeon 9500 PCI verision (ATI driver installed) 2.6.16-1.2122-FC5 I installed the latest common package then the r200 package as instructed by the DRI site. After rebooting the system wouldn't start. I did look at the Xorg.0.log. While I didn't understand most of it I did see that the drivers reported failure it initialize.
