How did you get that to work? I've been fighting with the radeon driver on and 
off for the past year, but never managed to get any output at all on the DVI 
port, neither with XFree/Xorg nor with the VESA console. The weird thing is 
that the Xorg logs show that communication between the graphics card and the 
monitor works, and all DDC data has been read out correctly, but I never get 
an image at all.
I have an T40p (2373-G1G), with the FireGL M9 graphics card.

PS: The propietary ATI driver does produce ouput on DVI, but since it blocks 
powermanagement I can't use it.
