OK, so I'm searching around for instructions on doing right this but I'm not finding them yet. That's leaving me poking around and of course that never goes well. I'll post some data and keep some records in case others try this again later. I don't want to post here too much and wear out my welcome but I really want to see a desktop today if possible.
I note that the Phoronix review of the HD5770 last October used xorg-server 1.6.3 so I trust that I'm safe with 1.6.5. They do not say what version of the drivers they were running. I'm running xorg-drivers-1.7, mesa-7.5.2 & xf86-video-radeonhd-1.3.0. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_juniper&num=4 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 68b8 (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: XFX Pine Group Inc.

Output shown further down below. 3) Probably most important, when I try to start xdm Xorg.0.log doesn't clearly say it's supporting my chip, unless it's the Evergreen entry. I'm not the least bit sure whether this is me running the wrong drivers, the wrong server or not having the right kernel configuration. Since the log file warns "(EE) No devices detected." it seems I don't have what's nevessary to even regognize my card? Any and all guidance warmly welcomed. Off to look for typos in my xorg.conf file.
