You are missing the drm & radeon kernel module, maybe fglrx
module is still loaded. Thus remove fglrx module and make sure
drm & radeon module are load then check you xorg.conf for

Section "DRI"
        Mode    0666
EndSection

If you haven't this had it otherwise you will only be able to have
3d as root.
