14 You did not run "aticonfig --initial" and therefore your xorg.conf is
15 not setup properly.
16
17 Run aticonfig --initial and reboot. Make sure your kernel is not
18 compiled with built-in radeon support, and make sure the "radeon" kernel
19 module is not loaded (by blacklisting it in a *.conf file in the
20 /etc/modprobe.d/ directory, with a line that says "blacklist radeon".)
