Perhaps this is well known, but I think the problem occurred because
the intel-agp driver was compiled into the kernel along with the
radeon framebuffer. When I made the intel-agp driver a module, then
the radeon framebuffer worked just as it did in 2.6.9 and 2.6.8.
If this isn't a known problem, is this the sort of thing to alert
the appropriate kernel developers about?
Thanks for your responses.
