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 :<
my card is ati X550
Here's my config:(can anyone who's ati card work with open-source driver works well give me your xorg.conf ?THX!)

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?

thank Army
I found HorizSync and VertRefresh values from my monitor's manual ,and they work right with the catalyst driver,so i'm sure they're right.
I'll try again.thank you!

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

I get it from ftp.archlinux.org
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.
