| Code: | | (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory |
You need to enable radeon DRI in kernel. |

I have recompiled kernel a few times and it still won't work.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Everything else seems to have worked great. I just can't get a desktop environment.

Try to read here. You have set this option in kernel?

I'm very rusty with Linux. I have compiled kernel a few times now, but not sure I am doing it right. Could you tell me what the commands are to compile and make sure its added to my system?

To check is whether you are running the latest kernel you built - and check the it the build date/time are what you are expecting.
Commands to build and install your new kernel after saving your .config with menuconfig are essentially
Is /boot mounted? Check with | Code: | | grep boot /proc/mounts |
mount /boot if not mounted, then
| Code: |
cd /usr/src/linux
make && make modules_install
make install |
Assuming grub2 is the gootloader bootloader:
| Code: | | grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg |
If no errors: Reboot into new kernel. |
