Hi,
I am install archlinux on my laptop, and I can't get my graphical card to work (Xorg doesn't start).
My card is an ati hd 6750
I've installed xf86-video-ati, xorg-xserver and xorg-xinit.
But when I try to run startx, xorg doesn't start, and I get a fatal error: no screens found. Here is the full Xorg log:

I tried to use catalyst as described on the wiki, but when trying to run aticonfig, I get the following error:
no supported adapters detected
lspci -v gives me:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Whistler [Radeon HD 6630M/6650M/6750M/7670M/7690M] (rev ff) (prog-if ff)
!!! Unknown header type 7f
Kernel driver in use: radeon
Kernel modules: radeon, fglrx
I also need to mention that when I boot from the install cd, then mount my archlinux system and chroot into it, lspci -v gives me:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Whistler [Radeon HD 6630M/6650M/6750M/7670M/7690M] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

So this brings me to my first subquestion: why does lspci work fine when booting from the install/repair CD, but displays "Unknown header type" when booting from my installed system?
And my main question is of course: what could I do to get my card working, and X starting?
thanks a lot.
