There are a couple of things to try. You don't say if you installed in

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.
I don't actually have an ATI video card. Maybe Ken can help when he sees
this.
