help with ati open-source driver :what problems with my xorg.conf?

I removed vesa driver and then :
sudo pacman -S xf86-video-ati libgl
I have browser http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI

I add me to the group video,add radeon to my rc.conf.
and changed my xorg.conf like that.and then I type "startx",It did work,but the resolution is not right (it should be 1027x768 but I got a resolution 640x480),and I run glxinfo it said :"unable to open  display"

I'm sure the     HorizSync VertRefresh is right besause when I try catalyst it works well :<

Re: help with ati open-source driver :what problems with my xorg.conf?

Ok, seems like you don't use [testing] because in this case x wouldn't even start, because RgbPath in the Section "Files" doesn't exist anymore and has to be removed.

I do always recommend people to disable any kind of options in the Section "Device", if there are problems with the video card. You usually do not have to put radeon neigher into the Section "Module", nor into rc.conf! So remove them, radeon should be loaded because it's set as Driver in the Section "Device"

Your problem with wrong resolution ... I'm not an expert in this, didn't ever have such a problem, but are you sure, that your HorizSync and VertRefresh values are right?

Where do you get the radeon driver?  All I found with pacman was "radeonhd".

That only has "radeonhd", which I tried.  I started a new thread on this---I need to check some things, and then I'll continue there.

thanks

The radeon driver is part of the xf86-video-ati package.
