Hi :) I need information how to set up the radeon driver for Ubuntu Studio Precise (and Quantal RC) amd64. I've got working xorg.confs for Suse and Arch Linux also 64-bit installs, but until now I can't get it working properly with Ubuntu Studio.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver does link to Arch Linux :(. So as an example I'll attach my working xorg.conf from Arch, that doesn't work for Ubuntu Studio. I still continue trial and error, but perhaps somebody can lead into the right direction.

For Arch and Suse I get >75Hz, resp. =90Hz and the wanted higher resolution. This doesn't change if I use my Arch's xorg.con with Ubuntu Studio. After editing this xorg.conf, Ubuntu Studio didn't start X anymore.
