Also, if it's the kernel, did you read the link that Arnuld sent to us
[0] in his previous messages [1]?
Maybe you are using another framebuffer drivers (such as uvesafb or
radeonfb) and it will conflicts with KMS which now is enabled by
default for radeon drivers. [2]
Otherwise, there is a diff between the previous and current kernel on
Parabola [3], note that the difference between linux-libre-3.13.6-1
and linux-libre-3.16.1_gnu-1.3 was in the pkgver to add "_gnu" on our
versions only.
