Rconfigure and recompile the kernel:
make menuconfig -> Device Drivers -> Character Devices -> Direct
Rendering Manager
make it a module. Or, you can just deselect it as the ati drivers
provide their own drm implementation. If you leave the in-kernel
version enabled as a module you will have to ensure that the drm module
is not loaded when X starts
This is all documented by ATI in nice html format in an "ati*" directory
in /usr/share/doc/
