HW = Chipset: "ATI Radeon HD 4250  " (Chipset = 0x9715)

Config is mostly taken from a working amd64 + radeon system.
linux-firmware is installed. No errors or warning in the the xorg
logs, but startx returns a blank screen on both the VGA and HDMI
outputs. It also fails with no xorg.conf. There's no process called X
or anything related to X, if i ssh in from another machine and run
'pgrep -lf X' as root.

When using fglrx;
proxy adam # tail Xorg.0.log
