I have a Radeon Mobility 9600 Pro Turbo (or so, I was told), in my Dell Inspiron 8600c Laptop. pciconf says this: acpi_video0@pci1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x20011028 chip=0x4e501002 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc' device = 'Mobility Radeon 9700 (M10 NP) (RV350)' class = display subclass = VGA after disabling acpi_video, drm attached successfully and seems to be working (quick test with glxgears only) drm0@pci1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x20011028 chip=0x4e501002 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc' device = 'Mobility Radeon 9700 (M10 NP) (RV350)' class = display subclass = VGA I remember there was some talk on current@ about this issue with attaching multiple drivers to the video card.
