Thanks, all worked as expected. One less thing to modify in the kernel config...

I can't load radeondrm on my office Kayak - it's a 9800SE, which
apparently is RV350 (AFAIU drm supports RV200 and RV300, am I right?).
I am getting:

WARNING: module error: unable to affix module.

But then when I had radeondrm in the kernel config file, everything
showed OK in the dmesg, but drm never actually worked - glxgears would
just freeze the X output, just the mouse cursor remained moving.

I alsi tested putter and puffs with psshfs OK.
