Ok, thanks; I did, and xorg is working fine. You have to set
Option "ReferenceClock" "29.500MHz"
in the "Device" section of your xorg.conf though (this seems known information).
Also, apart from "video=atyfb:off" I gave the kernel a "ide=nodma" parameter
because it complained about DMA timeouts soon after booting. (This, too, seems
a known issue. Line added to my silo.conf: append="video=atyfb:off ide=nodma")
Afterwards I installed hdparm and found that UDMA3 is the fastest mode in that
the kernel does not complain (so far, at least). I made this permanent by
setting
hdparm_opts="-d1 -X udma3"
in /etc/default/hdparm.
Maybe this is useful to the next guy installing Etch (or some other post-2.6.16
kernel) on a Blade 150 (or 100).
Thanks to everyone,
- Thomas
