Hi Jarle,

Thanks for the heads-up. IIRC the DRMKMS kernel for the source dated 
29th Oct worked OK - but I accidently deleted that binary (still have 
the GENERIC from that date). I was planning to CVS the source from that 
date and work forward to locate the commit which broke the kernel. It 
sounds like the older kernel is initialising something that the newer 
kernel fails to do.

Cheers,
Dave
