What is in Alex's built driver, *IS* in the rawhide driver. So there is nothing to _add_ to the rawhide driver to fix the alleged problem. Alex's binary driver is _missing_ code which is present in rawhide X, and which is not going to be leaving rawhide X anytime soon, as it fixes a massive number of bugs. Read the Radeon manpage from XFree86 CVS and try the MonitorLayout option. I haven't updated the manpage in rawhide yet to handle the new options. -- Mike A.
