configuring Xorg for Radeon 9250 .
what's up all , i got this Asus a9250 which uses the Radeon 9250 VPU chip
so i followed the arch wiki about the ati vga cards http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI
so i installed both xf86-video-ati and libgl buti can't change resolution with kde control center or using the X server hot keys <ctrl>+<alt>+<+ on the num pad> .
and direct rendering is disabled .

Re: configuring Xorg for Radeon 9250 .
It's an error with something in the actual Xorg-packages. But don't ask me which one. I just know, that I got a Radeon 9200, use the open-source-drivers and xorg ignores my resolutions in xorg.conf but instead gives me a widescreen-resolution per default.
now with 80% more sax-appeal!

Re: configuring Xorg for Radeon 9250 .
Try running X with no xorg.conf. Rename the file to xorg.conf.bak and restart X. The optimal resolution for the monitor should be selected automagically.
Otherwise, you need to uncomment and add some lines to your xorg.conf:
uncomment:
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Uncomment the section "DRI", all three lines.
Add the following to the end of the file:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
cheers,

Re: configuring Xorg for Radeon 9250 .
thanks cascat for trying to help 
but i already done all that and tried all what i can 
i think i forgot to uncomment the dri and glx module before posting the xorg config file xD
well , there is no way to work with out a xorg cofig file ( i tried it now and it's not working ) because i need to use some xkb options , load modules , etc ..
thnx for trying to help anyway

Re: configuring Xorg for Radeon 9250 .
I can also confirm, that no xorg.conf also gives a wrong resolution.

Re: configuring Xorg for Radeon 9250 .
Use a fresh xorg.conf from X -configure.
Show xrandr output, again.
If it's still not listing at least half a dozen resolutions, the auto-detection of your display capabilities fails (blame your choice of hardware). In that case, post specs; at least the default resolution.
Things to try (not all at once, obviously):
- HorizSync/VertRefresh (Monitor section)
- Option "PreferredMode" (Monitor section, might also need a custom Modeline in your case)
- Modes "1024x768" "800x600" etc. (Screen section, SubSection Display)
I have one xorg.conf that works with a Rage128, Radeon 32 and Radeon 9250 on three different CRTs; not perfectly (a 17" CRT cannot cope with the optimal config for a 21" CRT), but the right resolution is only two clicks away with the KDE tray app.

Re: configuring Xorg for Radeon 9250 .
i already tried the - HorizSync/VertRefresh (Monitor section)
and x started with the resolution 1280x768 60.0 ( when i play with the HorizSync like HorizSync 31.5 - 75 i get 1152 x 864)
but i can't change it with the X ho keys , there is no 3d acceleration besides , when i change it to 1024x768 with kde cc , firefox width is over the screen width dunno why
one more thing , what about 3d acceleration
what do you suggest ?

Re: configuring Xorg for Radeon 9250 .
Resolutions:
At the bottom of xorg.conf, remove all Display SubSections except 24 bit and add a line with
Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" (whatever)For the Monitor section, you could try adding
Option "PreferredMode" "1152x864"That should alleviate the need of messing with HorizSync.
3D:
Comment/remove the whole Module section and reinstall libgl.

Re: configuring Xorg for Radeon 9250 .
well , commenting all the modules wont enable 3d acceleration .
when i put the preferemod in monitor section , the screen doesnt show any thing but black , nothing xorg only ( which is a bug i heard about it ) but all the Virtual consoles , i can't switch , buti can use alt+ctrl+del to reboot .
when i read logs it reminded me to load the agpgart , which i forgot modprobe and add it to rc.conf
anyway , iam still lost , no X switching hot keys , no 3d acceleration and the firefox problem
i think this isn't a bug , here is a topic about it , http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=38881 but my keyboard doesn't flash .

Re: configuring Xorg for Radeon 9250 .
btw when i do cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep WW it gives me :
(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found
(WW) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP not available
(WW) RADEON(0): No crtc mode list for crtc 1,continuing with desired mode
(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabledwhen lspci

01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (Secondary) (rev 01)
thats means i got 2 drivers , so X server is confused ( i guess )
so i have to specify the right BusID ( i guess so xD ) should find it wih

That's from your last paste. How can you not have 3D acceleration then?

Re: configuring Xorg for Radeon 9250 .
I already said you didn't need to mess with the Module section at all; just kill it, the defaults work fine.
And you're supposed to run pacman -Syu, not updating single packages.
edit:
> and loading inel_agp, agpgart, radeon, and drm
What? You should never need to modprobe those manually. Now don't tell me you disabled module autoloading (through udev) in rc.conf...
