I'd like to try out a few options for the radeon-driver, but I can't for my
life figure out why my custom conf-file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d is
ignored.

The file looks like this;

# cat 53-radeon.conf
Section "Device"
        Driver  "radeon"
        #Identifier "Device0"
        #Identifier "Configured Video Device"
        #Identifier "Default Device"
        Identifier "ATI Radeon HD 5570"
        #Identifier "RADEON(0)"
        BusID "PCI:0:1:0:0"
        #ChipID 0x68d9
        #disable
        Option "SwapbuffersWait" "off"
        # enable
        Option "ColorTiling"  "on"
        # enable
        Option "ColorTiling2D" "on"
EndSection


I seem to be unable to guess at what I should put in the Identifier line so
these changes get applied. The files gets read, a typo in it will make the
x-server unstartable.

Any particular reason you're not using /etc/X11/xorg.conf instead
of /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/53-radeon.conf ?

No other than I've got the impression that /etc/X11/xorg.conf is deprecated and one should use files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ instead. This is on Ubuntu.

I did try renaming that file /etc/X11/xorg.conf to no avail.
