Currently, no update to xorg-server or xf86-video-ati will make your
card work, because we lack the support in the kernel.

However, now you can keep both xf86-video-ati and xf86-video-intel
installed and the server won't crash :) And one day in the future, the
Radeon card will come to life, though definitely not for today's
Halloween :)

With power consumption in mind, I would probably don't install
xf86-video-ati at all for now, so radeonkms isn't loaded.
