Sorry, I thought that 'ati' was responsible for chosing between radeon
and radeonhd.

Attached.
The 'RADEONHD' prefix is there.
I also attached the 'radeon' log.

This version works fine.
(other log attached)

This module recompilation is really handy :)
I'd be interested in documentation to do the same!


Now, where should this bug go?

In a default Lenny install, Xorg uses 'radeonhd' while, given the
state of the drivers in Lenny, it would better use 'radeon'.
Maybe this can be a candidate fix for Debian 5.0.1.
