How to start radeon script during boot?

My system hangs during startx. I have got input what to do but now, I need to create my own systemd.service file to start the script during boot. I have made following /etc/rc.local:

modprobe -r radeon
modprobe -r drm
modprobe radeon modeset=1
and get 644 permissions.

To start this service have I tried  /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service

[Unit]
Description=/etc/rc.local

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/etc/rc.local

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and systemctl enable rc-local.service

When I boot the system I get the error:
Failed to start /etc/rc.local

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Re: How to start radeon script during boot?

I think it would be better to launch startx manually and look at the output! I also have a radeon card and use the oss driver. Nothing has to be done for it to work. Are you sure you haven't messed up something else? Something weird in your grub config? What about your files in /etx/X11/xorg.conf.d? Remove every "improvement" you tried to do, I'm pretty sure startx will work just fine then.
