ATI RV410 [Radeon X700 Pro (PCIE)] driver fails

[AZ]

Hi,

I upgrade this system to onerice and since then or so my radeon graphics card can only be used using the Xorg vesa driver, thus lacking bigger than 1024x768 resolution support and all the other stuff radeons driver support.
The system used to work fine with precise and older ubuntu releases.

The Xorg radeon driver fails with (Xorg.log)
[ 27.806] (II) [KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported.
[ 27.806] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for modesetting

[ 27.806] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
[ 27.806] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for fbdev

And the kernel shows in dmesg:

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.9 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

The kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-raring/ fixes the problem for me.
