How do I configure X to use ATI Radeon drivers?

ATI Radeon cards 8500,9000,9200 and 9250 work with Open Source drivers and support ["OpenGL"] 3D Graphics.

To configure X to use the Radeon drivers, the configuration file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 should be edited as follows:

Section "Device"
- Identifier "ATI Radeon 9000" Driver "radeon"
