Do you get ->
(**) Option "dpms"
(**) R128(0): DPMS enabled

My video is ->
(II) PCI-to-CardBus bridge:
(II) Bus 5: bridge is at (2:15:1), (2,5,5), BCTRL: 0x0740 (VGA_EN is cleared)
(--) PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M4 AGP rev 0, Mem @ 0xe8000000/26, 0xfcffc000/14, I/O @ 0xcc00/8
