Details
Description: xf86-video-ati installs the file 10-radeon.conf
to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. This directory is made for system
specific config files. For example if an Admin needs to
change the default settings. For configs that come with a
package, you should use: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Configuration > Note: Arch supplies default configuration files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, [...] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=198719 Additional info: * package version(s) 1:7.8.99.r38.g9035b6ab-1 |

I suggest to keep the Xorg configuration files under /etc to have them under local admin control. Under /usr should go only stuff that should never need any modification.
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "Radeon"
MatchDriver "radeon"
Driver "radeon"
EndSection
It just tells xorg to use the radeon xorg driver for cards that load the radeon kernel module. This one belongs to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
This file never needs to be altered in any way.
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "AMDgpu"
MatchDriver "amdgpu"
Driver "amdgpu"
EndSection
and it's also in place: usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf ( https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/xf86-video-amdgpu/ )
@Andreas please consider to move it to the right path. I'm only here because the filename /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-radeon.conf was used by myself (to disable dri3) and was now conflicting with your package.
