To remove the radeon and drm modules, you need to stop X as it\' using these (you may confirm this with lsmod | grep radeon).

Switch to a console, e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1, log in as root, then:
# /etc/init.d/gdm stop
# rmmod radeon
# rmmod drm

This message seems to happen when the radeon module is already loaded. First rmmod the radeon module and then modprobe the fglrx module

There\'s more to it than that.  I had to rmmod radeon and drm to get it to load.  (Linux kernel 2.6.25).

If there is no drm or radeon module loaded and you have a custom kernel compiled, you have to be sure, that drm support is disbable or build as module (not build in)

rmmod drm radeon
ERROR: Module drm is in use by radeon
ERROR: Module radeon is in use

How to overcome this?
