Thanks, I just compiled 2.4.17 with radeonfb as a module. When I
ran startx, it complained about no devices. So I tried "modprobe
radeonfb". This caused my machine to lock up and my display to
gradually go an awful shade of white, like it was melting. So
I quickly pulled the power cord out. The first three times I
tried to boot after this, my machine froze during the boot process
or within a minute after. The fourth time it seems to be staying up.
(With no X.)
Did I do something wrong? Could I have damaged my machine?
