 >which kernel version are you using?

It is 3.17.4 from the gentoo-sources.  It was 3.14.14, which is still 
the newest marked "stable" for alpha.

 >I don't expect the 2D driver will work without the kernel module.
Focus on the kernel module first.

I thought the xorg radeon driver would be independent of the kernel 
module.  I will go back and make a new kernel today.  Thanks.
