Greetings;

x86 box, athlon xp-2800, 1 GB ram, built w/o the 4GB switch enabled so
it is only seeing 8xx megs, new build with that re-enabled in progress.

I have been building the radeon firmware in my kernels since the initial
patch adding them came out at about rc2 or so, as my build script carries
my old .config's forward before doing a 'make oldconfig', and by copying
the patches resultant firmware/radeon tree forward to each new -rcX.

I am now seeing these in the messages file:

That was at bootup time, and 20 minutes ago when I woke the monitor up again:

Do I have a problem or has the driver just been made noisier?

Thanks.
