Ive got a Radeon VE running on my system. And all that is is a modified
Radeon 7500 with some extra ports. I have the testing version of X
running on it just fine. Here is a few parts of my XF86Config-4 file.
Section "Module"
Load "GLcore"
Load "bitmap"
Load "dbe"
Load "ddc"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
Load "int10"
Load "pex5"
Load "record"
Load "speedo"
Load "type1"
Load "vbe"
Load "xie"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Radeon VE"
Driver "ati"
EndSection
This works just fine and was set up by dexconf. You should do a dpkg
--reconfigure of the X project. This is what I have working. You
should also make sure that your not using the frame buffer. When I was
trying to use the frame buffer it didnt work. So make sure it is
disabled. Other than that you should be good.
