--- Comment #85 from Kai <kai at dev.carbon-project.org> ---
I think I can answer your questions, since I got acceleration working up to the
point where it crashed (see comment #82).

No. I didn't rename the files and they were correctly loaded.

Yes. My 7.4.0 came up with the integrated GLAMOR. And just yesterday I helped a
friend with an OLAND to get it set up with the free drivers. His setup uses
also a 1.16.0 server and the DDX uses the integrated GLAMOR.

My xorg.conf had only a 'Driver "radeon"' line (since I don't have the -ati
loader shim around). No "Accel" or other option was set (and yes, it's Accel
with 7.4.0).
