Which X are you using? I needed to go to XFree86 4.3 for my Radeon 9000 Mobility. I did this by getting binary tarballs from xfree86.org (Xxserv.tgz and Xmod.tgz), and unpacking them in /usr/local, and repointing /etc/X11/X and editing the paths in XF86Config-4. > What _does_ work, however, is starting X while making sure that _no_ > external monitor is connected.
