I tried testing this on my 8-current box, but DRM never even attaches to
my graphics controller.

pciconf -lcv shows:
vgapci0 at pci0:1:5:0:     class=0x030000 card=0xd0001458 chip=0x96101002 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'ATI Technologies Inc'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA
    cap 01[50] = powerspec 3  supports D0 D1 D2 D3  current D0
    cap 05[a0] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit

and Xorg recognizes it as:
(--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics" (ChipID = 0x9610)

but I don't see any output from DRM in dmesg.boot.

I have
device          drm             # DRM core module required by DRM drivers
device          radeondrm       # ATI Radeon

in my config file.

Am I missing something?
