I tried the driver/chipset trick, but it just doesn't work out with
4.2.1.1, starting xserver fails with:

	(EE) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP not available
	(EE) RADEON(0): [drm] failed to remove DRM signal handler

Kernel is compiled with agpgart and DRM 4.1 support for Radeon cards, so
maybe it's the fact that I'm actually using a Radeon 9000 Mobility or is
there anything else I can try? (except coping with the code - that would
consume too much time)

Or where can I get Daniel's 4.3 debs? Maybe I can finally solve it with
his packages. Or are there already new (experimental) packages from
Branden/Daniel somewhere?

Thanks
