I edited the c file, recompiled and reinstalled but xorg still seems unable to recognize it and subsequently ubuntu still seems to be defaulting to vesa. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
I don't mind waiting for some of the developers to get this card. Drivers that work with it probably wont be far away.
Cheers

I don't think the PCI IDs are in the driver yet -- I expect the developers wouldn't want to add them until someone has tested on the card (which makes sense).
You can either add the device ID to src/rhd_id.c yourself or wait until the devs can get their hands on cards. I would start with inserting a single line into the PCI_ID_LIST table, keeping the IDs in ascending order :
RHD_DEVICE_MATCH( 0x9501, RHD_R600 ), /* Radeon HD 3870 */

gdm on gutsy is configured with autofallback. So it is normal that vesa is used when radeonhd fails.

Do you have a 38xx card. Have you got it working?
EDIT: Just noticed the following in my xorg log

Originally posted by Michael View PostIt's not officially been tested, but should work if all goes well.
I have modified /etc/X11/xorg.conf does anyone have any suggestions? Should I try to also modify the BusID. How do I know the busID of my card?
Cheers
PS: Using a ATI/AMD 3870 with gutsy
