Hi,
I would like to give some feedback.

I've an iBook G4 and have installed the ati driver from Debian
experimental. (Nearly) All works fine. I didn't had to add the MacModel
option to xorg.conf and only had to remove the HorizSync and VertRefresh
entries from the device sections of the internal display.
I can switch the external monitor on and off, can change the resolution
and arrange the displays side by side. But I couldn't change the maximum
screen size and even though /var/log/Xorg.0.log tells it is 2048x1200
xrandr tells me something different.
% grep 'Max d' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) RADEON(0): Max desktop size set to 2048x1200
% xrandr -q |head -n1
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 1024
So I reduced the resolution of both displays and placed the external
below the internal. It worked.
I can acknowlage the problem with the mouse pointer—it is flipped, it
looks like an endianess problem.
And turning off the internal display is not a good idea. I becomes
destroyed and it looks awesome.
