<pre>I wasn't able to launch X with the "radeon" driver on my PowerMac G5. I had a
problem with Xorg server choosing the wrong PCI slot for my graphics card,
described here:

title="NEW - BusID disregarded in xorg.conf in dual graphics card and single monitor setup"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=98524">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98524</a> BusID disregarded in
xorg.conf in dual graphics card and single monitor setup
So I ended up disabling the NVIDIA card (which caused the problem above) with
the following udev command line:
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="0000:0a:00.0", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo
1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:0a:00.0/remove'"
And now the X server could choose the only right PCI slot for the graphics
card, but the server still won't start, from the Xorg.0.log (attached below), I
can see that the X server has chosen the right driver through probing - as I do
not have any xorg.conf that specifies to use the "radeon" driver.
Attached above:
- Xorg.0.log
- dmesg outputs (grep'd "fb" and "radeon")
- /proc/fb content
- lspci output</pre>
