Though
dmesg |grep drm

shows that firmware could could not be loaded.

and lsmod says

radeon                792636  0
ttm                    68749  1 radeon
drm_kms_helper         40141  1 radeon
drm                   225935  3 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper
i2c_algo_bit           13156  1 radeon
i2c_core               37955  5 i2c_piix4,radeon,drm_kms_helper,drm,i2c_algo_bit



kernel: 2.6.42.7-libre.1.fc15.x86_64
