You also need radeon.ko and agp.ko for accelleration. As far as I can tell, agp.ko is used for memory management for the card/driver and is necessary e= ven if your card is PCI-E. > Driver 'radeonhd' (xf86-video-radeonhd-1.2.5_2) works, but without=20 > 'options EXA' and without 'options DRI'.

If you want to test a more recent radeonhd driver than the one in ports, you might have to use the drm and radeon modules from the Xorg git repository as well.=20 =20 > I'm a little bit confused, since the ATi-RV730LE chipset is supposed to= =20 > be supported.

The Xorg developers are working on the drivers for the R7xx series. Full documentation wasn't available until a couple of months ago IIRC, so some patience is required.
