Ah, there is an error in the KMS radeon-kms.conf file: when it crashed
the (now commented out) "options radeon modeset=1" was active. I had to
disable that to be able to use the machine and file the bug. Sorry about
the confusion.

Further, is there a difference between the xserver-xorg-video-radion
driver and the "r600 gallium driver" and if so, what is the Debian
package for that? I did notice that glxinfo did say it was using gallium
0.4. Would that mean that I was using the right driver?
