hi

When I got notebook neither radeon neither radeonhd support X1400, but
support appeared shortly in radeonhd, so I am using radeonhd from that
time.

And it looks like serious regression for me that it does not work any
more with the same hardware.

radeon is part of the ati driver.  You can specify either "ati" or=20
"radeon" in the Driver section of xorg.conf.

radeonhd [-devel] is a separate driver from a different source.

IME, radeon is stable and works on the whole range of cards, although=20
acceleration may be lacking on the newer R600/R700 cards.  radeonhd aims=20
to support those newer cards but is more experimental.

So try ati/radeon.  If it doesn't work on your card, or doesn't provide=20
acceleration you need, then go to radeonhd.
