Unfortunately, the DELL OEM Radeon has a different BIOS. For now, it requires
a patch to the XFree86 source, which was posted a while back to Xpert.
It hasn't made it in to the CVS. A patch relative to the current XFree86 CVS
is below. You also need to set Option "Crt2Dac2" in the 2nd screen entry.
