These are the last lines of Xorg.0.log :

(II) RADEONHD: version 1.2.5, built from dist of git branch master, commit 
cb54f48b

(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01@00:00:0
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
         at http://wiki.x.org
 for help.
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional 
information.

[beni@bsdaddict /var/log]$

It makes no difference if i use the ati, radeon or radeonhd driver in 
xorg.conf...
