Bug#595767: xserver-xorg-video-radeon: Won't load hardware acceleration after system start

[frank.kottler@gmx.de]

Hi,

thanks for your help. Adding a line containing the module name "radeon" to /etc/modules was the solution. Is there any way for the future to make the package do that automatically?

Anyway, thanks a lot for your support!
