i also have radeonhd ...i haven't figured out how to set it up

radeon worked fine on fedora 10...:<..

in desperation, i put the (xorg generated) xorg.conf in /etc/X11
(i thought the blank screen when testing it was bad news) anyway,
it seems x does read it- but seems to ignore my request for higher
resolution, & for use of a different driver:

"radeon" loaded....
