I upgraded my workstation (via source) to 7.2-RELEASE from 7.1-RELEASE 
about a day ago.  After the upgrade procedure, I'm having no luck with 
using DRM in X11.  It worked fine before and gave reasonable 
performance.  Now when I start up X with DRI enabled, both of my screens 
display garbage.  The mouse pointer is also not visible.

I'm using a PCI Radeon 9250.  I can get more details if necessary.  I 
can also try to revert the kernel DRM module code to 7.1.

 From dmesg:
drm2: <ATI Radeon RV280 9250> on vgapci2
vgapci2: child drm2 requested pci_enable_busmaster
info: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.29.0 20080528
info: [drm] Setting GART location based on new memory map
info: [drm] Loading R200 Microcode
info: [drm] writeback test succeeded in 2 usecs
drm2: [ITHREAD]

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.
