Some of the comments at the top of the file are out of date: it is now running as AGP 4, but GLX has gone back to MESA for some reason. I have been working on this for over a month and have tried a lot of things. I think xorg 6.7.0 worked, but it failed with 6.8.0 (XFree86 was fine) and this config is quite different from the old version. I also had problems with closing the lid while on an external monitor - it blanked when the LCD did, at least this doesnt happen with the current config. Havent tried xinerama, but this has never been neccessary in the past, and some of the radeon driver options for the second screen cause stray lockups on resume (they had no effect in any case). xorg 6.8.0 is not as good as XFree86, at least for this machine!
