ATI Radeon support

[maxim wexler]

my experience: I have a radeon 9250 card. I ran
xorgconfig and picked "ATI generic" as my vid card
identifier. When I run startx the console prints the
warning:

(WW)Radeon: no matching
device.../usr/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o is
unresolved.

So, I haven't even compiled the module for it. But X
opens without a problem, fonts are crisp and clear.

Go figure;)
