Quick guess it's trying to build module from git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm which are no longer supported use full Linus's tree or Dave's tree drm-next branch.

Can You elaborate on that. I'm only a dumb user that copied a command from radeon PPA ... I'm glad if I can help in testing this but ...

I have the same issue with a HD2400 card and the latest packages from xorg-edgers and radeon crack PPA. Karmic also fully updated.

Thanks, there was some useful information in your file listing. It seems the new radeon.ko module has been installed to gpu/drm/ and not to gpu/drm/radeon/. Is there an old radeon.ko inside gpu/drm/radeon/ ? It should have been renamed radeon.ko.linux.

The drm-modules-source package builds modules from agd5f's drm tree, which keeps getting some updates. It seems like it builds fine with the Karmic 2.6.31 but not with zika's 2.6.31-999 kernel.

2.6.31-999 is "daily" from mainline. Beware: even on 2.6.31-11-generic (latest "official" from Karmic) it builds OK but it shows in dmesg a date from 2008.
I dod not quite get the stuff about /gpu/drm and radeon.ko. Should I rename some of them or what ...? I do not have newest drm modules built (I've uninstalled it after no success later) ...

The radeon date can be quite old (I haven't patched it in the package) but the drm date should show 20090928agd5f.

You should not need to rename anything. The module-assistant installation procedure renames ("package diverts") the old modules to *.ko.linux before copying in the new modules. I just wanted you to verify this. modinfo radeon and modinfo drm should point you to the new modules and not some old.

Yes, I noticed that too but forgot to mention it. Indeed there was an old radeon.ko renamed to radeon.ko.linux in the radeon directory. I tried copying the new radeon.ko in radeon/ and updating the initramfs, but after a reboot nothing had changed. However I did this "experiment" before yesterday's update to drm-modules-source, so maybe something is changed now (the directory listing is from the new drm-modules-source though, I just didn't try to repeat the same trick)

I'm back on fglrx now, but I could try it again today, or if you need any specific log files etc.

I've forced it now to reinstall everything and I get:

Should I try to copy radeon.ko from /lib/modules/2.6.31-11-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/ to /lib/modules/2.6.31-11-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/ ... ?

P.S. I did that and nothing changed. I will erase that file just for the sake of some new upgrade ...

With new 2.6.32-rc1 3D acceleration and modesetting work. I get:

Thanks, as long as there is only one radeon.ko it should be fine, it doesn't matter much where it is.

No, do not rename or delete the files manually. You should uninstall the built module package using apt-get purge, so that everything is restored to how it was before. This is one advantage of using deb packages because they keep track of which files have been installed and which have been diverted.
