So what's in your config file? My bet is that you're forcing Xorg to use the vesa(4) driver there. That doesn't quite work anymore now that we have KMS. If this was the only reason you created an xorg.conf, delete it. Otherwise remove that the lines that configure the vesa(4) driver. The radeon(4) driver should work with your hardware now.
