I've a HD 5730 card which is, accordingly to Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units#Mobility_Radeon_HD_5xxx_Series ), have a "code name" REDWOOD, whatever it is. So, accordingly to the Mesa table ( http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/#index6h2 ) the REDWOOD cards are managed with "evergreen" driver. However X11 loads by default "r600" instead. So:

1) Is it a bug, do I have to report it?

2) Is there a way to force X11 to load evergreen driver instead? I tried the option…

Driver "evergreen"

…in the xorg.conf, but it triggers an error.
