- Add the device radeondrm to you kernel config and recompile, or load
the radeon.ko kernel module.
- Install the xf86-video-ati driver (this is xorg 7.3!)
- Load the right modules in xorg.conf;
Section "Module"
Load "dri"
Load "glx"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
Load "type1"
EndSection
- Use the radeon driver in xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "radeon"
# Option "AGPMode" "8"
# Option "DDCMode" "true"
EndSection
That's about it, I think.
