Is this Intel? Radeon? Something else? From git? From the upstream
kernel? What versions of Mesa, libdrm, and the X server and video
drivers do you have? (Presently, for working Radeon KMS, you need
development versions of all of these except for the X server, for which
1.7 will do, and Mesa, for which 7.6 will do as long as you compile it
with the appropriate driver. But all these things are heading upstream
rapidly and should appear in a stable release soonish.)
