Hi,
Your radeon.h file is out of sync with radeonfb.c.
Please use Ani's or Ben's latest. They have both made other fixes since
what I sent that should help.
You can probably get Ben's driver from his rsync site and I think you
will have to ask Ani for his latest driver 0.1.3 or later. Either one
would be better than mine.
Hope this helps,
Kevin
