Good morning campers,
Well this morning I finally got to the moment in the 7.8 book where I run startx but there was no X session only errors. I get the following from the Xorg log.

[ 7052.330] (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)

A bunch of other stuff happens seemingly with no problem and then I get:

[  7052.335] (--) using VT number 7

[  7052.337] (II) [KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported.
[  7052.337] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.
[  7052.337] (II) UnloadModule: "radeon"
[ 7052.337] (EE) Device(s) detected, but none match those in the config file.
[  7052.337] (EE)
Fatal server error:
[  7052.337] (EE) no screens found(EE)
[  7052.339] (EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.

    According to lspci my video equipment is:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS780L [Radeon 3000]
     In the log I see a number of Radeon and ATI things get loaded.

Obviously I missed something important. Does this look familiar to anyone? I looked around for a main configuration file but didn't find one. Don't they use that any more? Just a different file for each section in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory? Things seem to have changed quite a bit since my last exposure to Xorg and I need some guidance. Thanks in advance.
