dpaste has been acting up... cannot read, so have to guess here.
You need the Radeon KMS support enabled in the kernel.
The rv730 i think uses the r600 driver (versus radeonsi or r300) so VIDEO_CARDS="radeon r600"

RIA77,
Your kernel is missing DRM support
| Code: | [ 22.246] (II) [KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported.
[ 22.246] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory |
That's CONFIG_DRM_RADEON for you.
Your GPU is | Code: | | [ 22.104] (--) PCI:*(1@0:0:0) 1002:9498: |
That's a HD 4600 series GPU.
From the wiki, Its an R700 family member, which needs VIDEO_CARDS="radeon r600"
Heh, that's what eccerr0r said too :)

RIA77,
Set CONFIG_DRM_RADEON as a module and install linux-firmware.
The kernel driver needs to load firmware. That means it must be built into the kernel if radeon is built in.
