I have an ATI 4650 mobility radeon, and the open radeonhd driver and the catalyst driver work. However, I would like to use the open radeon driver instead, yet when I install the driver and use Xorg -configure it just uses the vesa driver. I tried configuring xorg.conf and it errors our with "No screens found." I've been told by a few people that my card is supported by the open radeon driver, so I am at a loss as to why it doesn't work, unless it isn't really supported.

Install radeonhd and run X with no xorg.conf - it will autodetect the driver.

The radeonhd works. It's the radeon driver that doesn't work, I tried no xorg.conf and it still used the vesa driver.

If you can use radeonhd, why do you want to use radeon?

The radeonhd driver makes the fan on the card spin at full speed all the time, so I wanted to see if the radeon driver had that problem or not.

OK - remove the vesa driver and try again.

Trying this out now, but the build keeps failing.
