Thanks for your kindly reply.
I added "drm" and "radeondrm" these two lines into my kernel configure file,
and recompiled the kernel. After revising the configure file, I rebooted my
machine with the new kernel, but I still got the "No devices detected"
message.
I found that there's a line in my log file as following:
(--) PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI Technologies Inc unknown chipset (0x7149) rev 0, Mem @
0xc8000000/27, 0xc0100000/16, I/O @ 0x90000/8
so that I set the BusID to "PCI:1:0:0", but it doesn't work, the message is
still "No devices detected".
I wonder about the message in my log file whether it will appear in your log
file as the same, and how can you detected your display card information
about " VendorName" and "BoardName"? I generated the configure file by
"xorgconfig" command and revised my /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually. Do you have
any other good way to detect the card?
I attached my configure file and the log file for your reference.
p.s. I can't find any information about Xorg7.2 with my ATI Mobility Radeon
X1300 by google, do you have a link so that I can go forward to the website
for more information? Anyway, I prefer solve the problem now to wait for the
Xorg7.2 releasing. :-P
B.Rgds.
