Xorg -version

Having used a dual screen xorg.conf X refuses to start with it, newly. Elder versions did do well with that xorg.conf.

Comment 3 Alan Coopersmith 2012-08-20 14:56:03 UTC 
This is user error, not a bug.

The xorg.conf has commented out your default module path and put in a
custom path:

#  ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules-anc"
  ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules-oss/updates,/usr/lib64/xorg/modules-oss"

Xorg.0.log shows it tries to find the required modules to load in that
path and cannot:

[   283.305] (**) ModulePath set to "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules-oss/updates,/usr/lib64/xorg/modules-oss"
[   283.307] (EE) Failed to load module "radeon" (module does not exist, 0)

(lots of other errors in the Xorg.0.log about old stuff we ignore, and
 invalid font paths too)
Comment 4 Elmar Stellnberger 2012-08-20 15:37:52 UTC 
Many Thanks. That works now.
However the X server blackscreens at a hang as soon as I correct the ModulePath; looking at the xorg.0.log everything looks like at Bug 32969.
