Hi everyone.

Once I owned this card (exactly, Radeon VE) I started to discover the way it works \
with two crt heads under XFree86/Linux. I found that it doesn't. Then I spent some \
hours discovering radeon-driver.c code find out how it works since I've no experience \
in hacking XFree. Finally I discovered that the driver didn't correctly detect the \
types of both heads and simply hardcoded that both they are CRT. The upstream author \
has put there a 'FIXME' remark saying that he will do the detection more proper way \
_later_. So now I proudly use the driver hacked by myself and it works fine. ;) If \
anyone needs the source/binary I may help. Good luck.
