I forgot other detail, is that in the Xorg configuration files, was not present the file for the video device driver, and I copied it from the 12.1 installation. I enabled the driver as "radeon", but now I'm in doubt, if it's radeon or radeonhd, for the ATI HD 5670 video card. Most users of FOSS drivers do not need any xorg.conf or xorg.conf.d/ files. Xorg should automagically load the correct driver. You could see that it tried radeonhd but not radeon in the log file you posted, so xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd should be the optional one you need to ensure has been installed. The radeon driver is/was automatically made available via installation of xorg-x11-driver-video.
It's a little confusing:
They apper 2 possible package drivers for my video card:
xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd-1.3.0_20100512_80ba041-10.4.x86_64.rpm and xf86-video-ati-6.14.4-2.1.x86_64.rpm
Which of them is the right?

Thats true, but the driver exists for quite a while now (9 years as far as i can see) and at this time ati did exist ;-). The packagename is the same as the repository name, so now it is clear where the confusing xf86-* comes from.
