I did git pulls for what I believe to be current repositories for both radeon and radeonhd drivers.
I followed the instructions (autogen.sh, make, make install) but I get no .ko files to load as modules and can't see how it is meant to work. I had the same problem with the official 1.3.0 release for radeonhd.
The packaged drivers for debian are pretty old and take a long time to get updated so I'd really prefer just to build my own.
I'm using 2.6.30 kernel and am not concerned about KMS. 3D would be nice, but just tear-free video will suffice. Power management and suspend/hibernate are important to me.
I assume the best plan is to use the latest git update, but I'm happy to be contradicted if there is an easier/more reliable release.
No doubt I'm just missing something really obvious.
I have tried reading various threads on building the drivers, but I everything changes so fast it's hard to know which are the uptodate instructions.
Can anyone provide simple instructions?
Nearly forgot - this is for r600 (3450), but I also have a 4350 that I can swap in if that's likely to give me better results.
