No. I really don't want to use a closed driver. I purchased this card because
I read (Xorg wiki) that this slightly older tech was well supported for a 2D desktop under Linux.

Ok, I just did and the machine locked up. No Magic SysRq. No SSH. Screen goes
blank and monitor turns off. Thenm I did a dist-upgrade as there was a kernel
upgrade to 2.6.32-5-686. Same result.
With the newer kernel, I can lockup the machine whether:
KMS is on or off
There is my aforementioned xorg.conf (radeon driver) or not.
Using the radeon driver in xorg.conf, commenting out the DRI section, and not
using KMS I get X up but with a very slow cursor and no other response.
This from Xorg.log
[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.

And from /var/log/messages I get pages of this:

Anybody have any ideas why I'm having so much trouble just getting 2D
working?

Ah. Thanks for that.
