Stop trying to use the card as your console :)

Stick with a serial console for startup and then launch X
from that console.

It's my dream to get a Radeon 7000 PCI running on a C3K, 
but that will have to wait until September. I'm very interested
in this test... since I'm a burgeoning DRI/DRM developer :)

If you have any problems please post to:

dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net 

or visit

#dri-devel on irc.openprojects.net

Good luck!
