I found the issue by looking in that file. There was a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d called 20-nouveau thats was loading nouveau and blocking the radeon. i moved it out of there and i'm now up and running.
20-nouveau? That's not a standard file. *-nvidia was. I think. Weird.
IIRC, it ever exists because ancient NVidia GPUs are not supported by the newer technology upstream default modesetting DIX display driver, and the nouveau DDX display driver is much better than the crude generic fbdev and vesa display drivers used when a DDX is broken or otherwise is not available for use with an NVidia GPU.
I will have to check the next time I boot my old machine that has an nvidia card. Different location. I'll try to remember. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)
