I actually did try doing a:
./configure --enable-radeon-experimental-api
make clean all install

after seeing that option with "./configure --help".
But this did not change things ...
However doing a:
make distclean
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-radeon-experimental-api
make all install

Seems to work. Thanks for the info.

Cheers
