Radeon Graphics Driver Error

At random times I will receieve this error:

(Taken from /var/log/errors.log)

Dec  1 16:29:14 mine kernel: fb: conflicting fb hw usage radeondrmfb vs VESA VGA - removing generic driver
Dec  1 16:31:53 mine kernel: fb: conflicting fb hw usage radeondrmfb vs VESA VGA - removing generic driver

I'm using a Radeon 9800 XT and I'm using the generic "xf86-video-ati" driver package and I haven't generated an Xorg.conf. Should I try installing and working with catalyst? I've seen it in the AUR, but never fooled with it.

Re: Radeon Graphics Driver Error

bump?
the error causes my screen to freeze and I'm forced to reboot via the power button.
