--- Comment #9 from Russ Whitaker <russ at ashlandhome.net> ---
The man page for the ati driver says it's just a wrapper for the
real driver. So in /etc/X11/xorg.conf replaced "ati" with "radeon"

Same result:

StartX
The radeon driver loads in all its glory.
Then kms reports modesetting is not supported.
Based on that, somewhere ( Where? ) a decision is made to unload the
radeon driver.
Since /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not have a backup driver X exits.

I just eliminated ati-7 as the source of the problem.
