I'm having issues with my X1350, video7 flatscreen and xorg.conf - the
relevant sections of my xorg follow:

        Modes "1440x900_60"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

this fails to start x with the /var/log entry reading -
(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:2:0:1) found
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

It has been suggested to me that I comment out the BusID entry, however I am
unsure as to why this should work?
