So I'm having some issues starting the X Server using the radeonhd driver with an X1250 card. I've tried a number of fixes from around the net and Arch Forums, with varying degrees of success and nothing definite. Most of the fixes involved xorg.conf edits.
Using a fresh install of Arch64, X.Org (configured with hwd) and radeonhd (xorg.conf edits from Arch ATI Wiki were applied), this is the output after starting the X Server as a user:
X.Org X Server 1.5.3
Release Date: 5 November 2008
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0

Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
to make sure that you have the latest version.

waiting for X server to shut downAs I said before, I've tried a number of things with no one fix giving results. Installing TTF and Type1 fonts gets rid of the "Could not init font path element" errors, but still doesn't allow the X Server to start. Commenting out the type1 and record modules from the xorg.conf gets rid of the "(EE)" errors, and again gives no X. Both combined leave me with no X and the remaining output:
...
None
waiting for X server to shut downThe Catalyst driver with aticonfig has also not done the trick thus far, giving a similar error output with a few different elements.
Any ideas?

backup your xorg.conf, and start x without xorg.conf.

Based on your suggestion, I tried starting X as a user without an xorg.conf file and received this error output:
...
(EE) Unable to locate/open config file
New driver is "ati"

(EE) Failed to load module "ati" (module does not exist, 0)

waiting for X server to shut down error setting MTRR (base = 0xd0000000, size = 0x01000000, type = 1) Invalid argument (22)Also, I decided to try starting X using my xorg.conf file again so I can grab any EE or WW messages from the Xorg.0.log. Here's what I got:
...

xorg error without xorg.conf indicate that you should test turning off hotplugging. Read this post:

So I gave turning off hot plugging a try. Still no luck, but here's the log output from that:
...
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/TTF" does not exist.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/Type1" does not exist.
(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)
(WW) RADEON(0): R500 support is under development. Please report any issues to xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org
(WW) RADEON(0): DRI init changed memory map, adjusting ...
(WW) RADEON(0): MC_FB_LOCATION was: 0x7fff7000 is: 0x7fff7000
(WW) RADEON(0): MC_AGP_LOACTION was: 0x003f0000 is: 0x81ff8000
(WW) <default pointer>: No Device specified, looking for one...Also, I've installed xf86-video-ati and xf86-video-fbdev so as to eliminate those module errors that appeared in the previous log file.
Water's getting a little deep for me now. What's the next step?

since you've turned hotplugging off, xorg could not find your mouse. This is why you need an xorg.conf file without hotplugging. Define your pointer settings in xorg.conf and start x. BTW, didn't you have evdev installed before? Ati driver is working but with limitation, I guess radeonhd is the right one. If you like you could post your xorg.conf and I could look at it. Otherwise there is an wiki entry concerning ati driver and xorg.conf.
