Recompiled w/o preempt... works as well 8-)

*geeeeez*
It works with radeonfb... well, not at 1600x1200. For some reasons the
kernel seems to have other timings than the 2.4.25 kernel, so my Monitor
tells me that 1600x1200 is out of range, but 1280x1024 works as well and is
far better readable than 640x480 on 19"... ;))
