1 To eliminate bugs, I'm using this as xorg.conf.new:
2 Section "ServerLayout"
3 Identifier "X.org Configured"
4 EndSection
5 Section "Files"
6 ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
7 FontPath ...
8 # ...
9 FontPath ...
10 EndSection
11 Section "Module"
12 Load "dbe"
13 Load "dri"
14 Load "dri2"
15 Load "extmod"
16 Load "glx"
17 Load "record"
18 EndSection
19 Section "Device"
20 Identifier "Radeon HD 4200"
21 Driver "radeonhd"
22 EndSection
23 #end of xorg.conf.new

25 I get the following error lines in the console:
26 FATAL: Module radeon not found.
27 (EE) RADEONHD(0): RHDDRIVersionCheck: drmOpen("radeon",
28 "pci:0000:05:05.0") failed.

30 [ 1256.744546] uvesafb: mode switch failed (eax=0x34f, err=0). Trying
31 again with default timings.

33 Radeon DRI is compiled into the kernel.
34 What do I do now?

36 (It's been quite a long while since I've installed X. My knowledge has
37 all but vanished.)
