You're right. I have now downloaded the latest xorg-video-ati git, and it does indeed work with the the DVI cable plugged in. Sorry for not checking the git version first. By the way, I don't know if dual link is supposed to work in xorg-video-ati yet, but I thought I should let you know that it did not work for me with my new lp3065 monitor (neither did radeonhd, which I think is supposed to work). xrandr correctly sees the 2560x1600 video mode and thinks that it has selected it, but I only see moving rectangular pattern that I think is some kind of bad video signal. If I use xrandr to reduce the video mode to 1280x800 (which the monitor also supports), that displays correctly. Anyhow, I thought I ought to pass along this information. I also have an nvidia card that should drive the monitor OK, but, since the monitor supports multiple video cables in, I expect to keep another DVI cable plugged into my ATI X1250 rs690 in case anyone would like me to try a patch.
