Re: 2.5 kernel on grx 5xx

Last I heard (last week that is) DRM & OpenGL acceleration is not
working for Radeons in the 2.5 series yet. There was a posting on lkml
about someone getting it working with 2.5.70-bk but then there were
other problems. So if you want to play your games or have pretty
screensavers then you need to stick with a 2.4.x kernel for now.

  [drm] Initialized radeon 1.8.0 20020828 on minor 0
  [drm:radeon_cp_init] *ERROR* radeon_cp_init called without lock held
  [drm:radeon_unlock] *ERROR* Process 3243 using kernel context 0
