[Greg Faith <gregfaith@xxxxxxxxx>]

Okay I did another install of the current daily 20121002 tonight.

Used the method in the first email in this thread to get a usable live
session.

live video=radeonfb:1024x768-32@60

Got a live session and made the install.  Started doing some checking and
notice in lsmod I have no obvious graphic drivers listed.

So I

sudo modprobe radeon

another lsmod and BING radeon shows up in the kernel running modules.

Tried a reboot (knowing it ain't going to be there). Sure enough it was not
then I got top thinking about how we forces some network modules and the
commands..

No big trick here is all it takes to get the radeon module insert and
rebootable.

sudo su
echo radeon >> /etc/modules
exit

I know this ain't exactly elegant as the purists say, but sometimes I
envision myself as a hacker not much of one I admit. But I am fearless LOL
what do I have to lose.

Well anyway now I have a radeon module with all it's helpers working>:
Maybe just maybe this information might help the #ubuntu-x .. Probably
not.. i don't know..
Anyway I am going to the qa-tracker and logging the session and install.
And i will be glad to add it to the bug that Lard first started.
