After you select "Add new card" it will ask if you want to look at the card database. If you say "no" you will get a list of drivers. Is the Radeon in that list ? Supporting every chip is hard enough, keeping a database of every card and all the names (does the card have different names in different packaging) is very difficult; chances are that for v4.2 the radeon developers didn't get around to updating the card database. -- Dr. Andrew C.

Try configuring with either X -configure or xf86cfg instead. -- Dr. Andrew C.

However ATI have a habit of changing the PCI chip IDs; if your chip is one we haven't heard of you may need to add the line ChipId 0x5159 to the Devices section of your config file, to force the driver to treat your chip as a 7000. If you have to do this, please send us the output of lspci, so that we can add support for your chip. -- Dr. Andrew C.
