DRI: X works but not KDE on Radeon Mobility M6

[Ranma]

I just ran the install.sh script, installed the extras, and ran opengl-update xfree and I ran startx. glxinfo still reports that it's using Mesa Indirect but at least it's using VA Systems which means it's using the DRI drivers (I think). I added the DRI 0666 section into my XF86Config and changed default depth to 16 bit. I can run X just fine, but when I try to run kdm it pops up the default X screen with the checkerboard black and gray background with the X as the cursor, then it hangs there for approximately 2 seconds and then kicks me back into shell. It tries to load it 4 times before I can use the shell again. It doesn't report any errors at all, the prompt acts like i just pushed enter without typing anything. Please help, thanks.

Can you post your XF86Config file? Are you loading options like this:

I managed to get direct rendering working (I had to add Load "GLcore" to the modules section in XFree86 and check the appropriate motherboard under AGPGART section in kernel), but now I'm having approximately the same issue. I can load startx but when I try to load kdm from shell it gives me the same gray background with the X cursor, and then the screen turns back and nothing I do can make it display again. However I do believe that it's because I can't see the console, I've heard about a bug where when you switch to a console when you're running X and DRI, it won't cause the console to display. If I try running startkde from the default X manager (whatever loads when you type startx), it looks like it's loading, then boots me back into console with a received signal 32 error. My XFree86 modules section loads these modules:

Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"

Correction, it's not received signal 32 but rather fatal IO error 32.

.Xsession-errors gives me a baddrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9 error. The suggested fix is to change your horizontal and vertical refresh rates. Problem is, I have a laptop with a LCD display, what refresh rates should I use? I can't find any documentation on my monitor.
