There are a couple of things to try. You don't say if you installed
in /opt our /usr, but I've found that you may need to do (as root)
ldconfig. This allows the system to find all the needed libraries.
This may help remove the message UnloadModule: "radeon",
The book told me to run ldconfig and then I did it again after I
installed the drivers. I have been building "by the book" so i assume
everything should have been loaded in /usr.
Also, you might want to try creating a configuration file:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/radeon.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "raedon"
Driver "ati" # or possibly "raedon"
#Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection
I just added this but there was no change in response from X although,
it may have been there before and I didn't see it. The messages on the
screen after the fail added a few lines from xinit that were not in the
log. Since I can't cut and paste from the screen I will have to
paraphrase. It said something like I stopped trying. Couldn't connect to
the server: Connection refused.
Other issues for raedon are the installation of firmware. See the Xorg
drivers page.

I guess I am left with the firmware but the way I read it I thought that
had to do with using hardware acceleration and didn't think I HAD to
have it loaded in order for an X session to come up.
BTW, Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate it.
