Oops missed this email before..

here you go! sorry if my tar&gzipping is a bit dodgy, first time I've 
ever actually made a tarball and gzipped it!

re turning on radeon in the kernel it's in my .config.. I have a bad 
habit of compiling as much as possible into the kernel, as everything i 
use i use all the time,

on that note..

Any idea whether using modules as opposed to compiling into the kernel 
results in a faster machine?
