>Description:
Radeon module (xorg) when loaded in real time from console, sends video output only to a external monitor connector (dell latitude d600), no configuration in xorg.conf can help here to activate LFP, it just needs to be loaded via loader.conf to start sending video signal to a LFP, then it work great, as it supose to be.

Regards
>How-To-Repeat:
its a little irritating to confige Xserver config, when module fooling you behind, not a major fault, but can be annoying for those who try configure it without reboot (or without messing with loader.conf first, to avoid some module dependent crashes), like for me, as i try use freebsd for a first time as desktop.
