The RV770LE seems not to be recognized by 'radeonhd', but works > fine with 'radeon'. But in both cases, DRI enabled crashes the box. Here, I have radeonhd loaded (the -devel doesn't seem to be that different a version). I have the radeon and drm kernel modules loaded. My only problem was that I had no input devices (which seems a really dumb default). My card is a Saphire 4870 --- which I believe is a RV770 based card.
