Hmmm:
Try changing your config file:
Section "Device"
# Some 7500 boards aparently need this option enabled to work - bug
(#62760)
# Option "CrtScreen"
Identifier "ATI Radeon 8500"
Driver "radeon"
VendorName "ati"
BoardName "ati"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Screen 0
EndSection
Section "Device"
# Some 7500 boards aparently need this option enabled to work - bug
(#62760)
Identifier "ATI Radeon 7500"
Driver "ati"
VendorName "ati"
BoardName "ati"
BusID "PCI:0:9:0"
# Option "CrtScreen"
Screen 1
EndSection
Works for me with a Radeon 9000, might help -- at least its something to
try.
