The yellow image is a known bug, Michel has a fix in his tree. > Michel, do you know the bits from your X server that will make dual > head work ?

The external display gets right if you remove UseFBDev, but then, the internal LCD can get screwed. There's a possible hack to "fix" this by hard coding the PLL value. The problem is that the internal LCD requires a fixed PLL value, X knows how to retreive this from x86 BIOSes, but that code won't work for us. radeonfb has some hard coded values for known mac models.
