Description:
After updating to xf86-video-ati-6.14.4-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz I can't start X with startx anymore. It says:
[...]
Fatal server error:
no screens found
[...]
Reverting to xf86-video-ati-6.14.3-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz solved the problem. The core of the problem according to /var/log/Xorg.0.log :
[ 854.963] (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed because of a version mismatch.
[dri] This chipset requires a kernel module version of 1.8.0,
[dri] but the kernel reports a version of 2.12.0.[dri] Make sure your module is loaded prior to starting X, and
[dri] that this driver was built with support for KMS.
[dri] Aborting.
[ 854.964] (II) UnloadModule: "radeon"
[ 854.964] (II) UnloadSubModule: "int10"
[ 854.964] (II) Unloading int10
[ 854.964] (II) UnloadSubModule: "vgahw"
[ 854.964] (II) Unloading vgahw
[ 854.964] (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
do a console log in and run startx
