Depending on the video bios on your laptop, you may also need a patch to the xfree86 radeon driver. [ Which I can provide, but not test, since I do not have the same hardware ]. [ The patch relates to which modes the driver/bios will accept: the r128 driver, in conjunction with the bios on my thinkpad, silently rejects the users modeline and uses its own, and only allows 1400x1050 (w/o the patch, that is): The radeon driver has v similar code, but the bios may not be as buggy/restricted ]
