I am having exactly this problem with a Radeon 7500 card (OEM = PowerColor) -- as an added complication it appears to be vary with the digital monitor attached.
I can get output from XFree to the DVI port when a (borrowed) Sony XDM-72 monitor is attached, but not when my Apple Studio Display 17" LCD is attached. The Apple monitor works with the same hardware in Windows and with RH9 in text mode. I am also using the CVS ati and radeon drivers downloaded today. I have spent much time trying various config files without success. Unfortunately, I am too much a newbie to find the radeon_driver.c file to make the suggested edit. Where is it? Any other suggestions? Could the "MonitorLayout" option be relevant here if there is only a single monitor attached and it is detected by DDC?
