I have a Sapphire ATI X550 card, it has never been properly detected by 
xorg, it picks vesa driver, but qll works great if I add a  "ChipId 
0x5b62" and set the driver to radeon in the device section.

I did tag this onto a fd.o/xorg bugzilla that was requesting missing 
radeon PCIDs around the X11R7RC timeframe

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4284#c3

Would be nice if it gets added

Just a very quick by the by .... I'm not expecting h/w openGL (without 
the fglrx drivers) but with ati/radeon drivers should I be getting Mesa 
as a software fallback, as I'm not ...
