Yeah, I did it last night and ultimately ended up fine ... it wasn't
completely clean, but that wasn't X related. After getting X to 4.3
the XFree86.log showed the kernel version was too old for the radeon
driver, so I upgraded my kernel to the stock 2.4.24 image. That too
went Ok but then X (kdm actually) locked up the display and freaked out
the monitor ...
So thinking it was the radeon kernel stuff, I booted the old kernel,
removed radeon from modules and rebooted the new kernel ... went without
a hitch and moddep loaded radeon anyway ... glxgears went from 28fps to
216fps and I could actually watch DVDs full screen, yippee.
... now to hunt down KDE3.2 :)
