I was under the impresion that newer DRM stuff had been stuffed in
back in april directly from the r300 project.

drm0: <ATI Radeon AP 9600> port 0xc000-0xc0ff mem 0xc0000000-0xcfffffff,0xe1000000-0xe100ffff irq 7 at device 0.0 on pci2
info: [drm] AGP at 0xb0000000 256MB
info: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.16.0 20050311 on minor 0
drm0: <ATI Radeon AP 9600> port 0xc000-0xc0ff mem 0xc0000000-0xcfffffff,0xe1000000-0xe100ffff irq 7 at device 0.0 on pci2
info: [drm] AGP at 0xb0000000 256MB
info: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.16.0 20050311 on minor 0

I'm also using xorg snap 6.8.99.5 which should have the newer
development (r300+ I thought) DRI drivers in it.

I could be wrong, but I don't get any more info from the crash than
I mentioned last time :(
