Do you say that you actually got your 9000 Pro working in XF86 4.2/4.1?
That's what I am running now (XF96 4.2 in the Red Hat 8.0 installation)
and I am having no luck whatsoever. Were you able to use your
fglrxconfig generated XF86Config file without editing it? If you were
able to get your 9000 Pro card fully functioning in XF86 4.2, I would
like to know how you did it.

Subject: Re: [XFree86] radeon 9000 dual head work at all?
Thanks Paul.
I seem to figured out these things: might be useful to you too.
fglrx only works with XF86 4.2 /4.1, in fact , I got it working
(with TV-out (kind of dual head)) before. but doesn't work with
XF864.3, because XF864.3 uses a totally different way to load
driver
modules specified in the "Device" section: it goes to
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/* instead of
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/char/drm ....
so when I put flgrx in the /lib/modules... XF86 4.3 says can't
find
the module, and if i put it in /usr/X11R6/.. it says the module
format is wrong, seems 4.3 put the driver into two parts, one in
/usr/X11R6 , and that calls the drm unit ( kernel module) in
/lib/modules .
if you want , you can go into your XFree86.0.log and search
"device
not found" and see what file it was trying to load, maybe it
will
help.
