X.org 6.9

[Wilde, Donald]

Hi, Kamikaze -

Mine only has the following, twice for two heads. MonitorLayout was
already commented out.

Section "Device"
      Option     "BusType" "PCIE"            	# [<str>]4
	Identifier  "Card0"
	Driver      "radeon"
	VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc"
	BoardName   "RADEON X300"
	BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

I followed all your other suggestions, and they speeded up the
non-accelerated startup quite a bit, but it still crashes _hard_ with
DRI enabled.

My X also didn't start after the update. I got it fixed though.
The trouble seems to be related to improved monitor detection that
conflicts with manual settings.

To get my X work again I removed all entries in the section Monitor
except for Identifier:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier  "LCD"
EndSection

I also removed the MonitorLayout from my Device section, this was
actually causing the problem I think, even though the entry was correct
it seemed to cause problems with the auto detection of xorg. It now
looks like this:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "ATI Radeon 7500 Mobile"
        Driver      "radeon"
        Option  "BusType" "AGP"
        Option  "AGPMode" "4"
        Option  "AGPFastWrite" "true"
        Option  "GartSize" "64"
        Option  "EnablePageFlip" "true"
        Option  "DDCMode" "true"
EndSection

I also cleaned up my Screen section, because X is now well capable of
detecting the supported resolutions without me interfering:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier  "Screen 1"
        Device      "ATI Radeon 7500 Mobile"
        Monitor     "LCD"
        DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

BTW, DRI is not broken for me and after the update glxgears performs
with 37% more fps. I also noticed a performance boost in Quake 3 Arena.
