1 HW = Chipset: "ATI Radeon HD 4250 " (Chipset = 0x9715)
2
3 Config is mostly taken from a working amd64 + radeon system.
4 linux-firmware is installed. No errors or warning in the the xorg
5 logs, but startx returns a blank screen on both the VGA and HDMI
6 outputs. It also fails with no xorg.conf. There's no process called X
7 or anything related to X, if i ssh in from another machine and run
8 'pgrep -lf X' as root.
