Ive seen some people saying to install the latest ATI drivers and then
overwrite fglrx_drv.o with the 3.12 hexedited one. That is a bad idea in
my opinion. Im using the 3.12 kernel and fglrx_drv.o file. Im still
using XFree86 4.3.0 (on debian), here is the Device section:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Graphics Adapter"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "MonitorLayout" "STV, None"
Option "IgnoreEDID" "off"
#Option "HSync2" "31.5 - 37.9"
#Option "VRefresh2" "20 - 60"
Option "ScreenOverlap" "0"
Option "NoTV" "no"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
#Option "no_accel" "yes"
EndSection

Its a myth option, and I doubt it will help much. I figured since I was
compiling from source I might as well use it.

It is odd, but Ive yet to pull mine out of the entertainment center and
put it on top which might help. My heatsink is also not too flat :-\
