hi guys
i'm experiecing some troubles configuring my old vga
this is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon Mobility M6 LY [Radeon Mobility 9000]"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "DRI" "on"
Option "AGPMode" "2"
Option "ColorTiling" "on"
Option "DynamicClocks" "on"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "on"
Option "BIOSHotkeys" "on"
EndSection
#Section "Modules"
# Load "dri"
# Load "extmod"
# Load "glx"
# Load "GLcore"
# Load "dbe"
#EndSection
how come that if i uncomment the Modules section, even without loading any of them, X stops starting on startup and produces the error: x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
?
thanks!

well.. i passed to KMS following the wiki.
everything's ok if i rename the radeon file in etc/X11/xorg.d/, otherwise i cant get hardware acceleration and X uses the cpu (i know because everything involving graphics becomes awfully slow).
so the question is: do i need to configure the vga anymore?? i use 2d applications only.
one more thing: power saving.
i tried enabling dynamic power saving as described in the wiki, which states that you don't have to add " radeon.dynpm=1" to the kernel parameters if use a kernel release >= 2.6.35.
a few lines later, though, it says to run this command (i find it quite unclear):
echo dynpm > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method
i tried, but i don't have that file! instead i've got a folder called "power" with some other stuff in it.
what should i do? please help
