Hello,

So you seem to have the same ATI chip. Is that what lspci -nn | grep ATI 
tells you, too?

Very interesting: Option "DRI" is not mentioned in the manpage of my 
radeon driver... which version of the radeon driver you use?

Maybe that option is just undocumented, I will try setting. Maybe it 
serves as an override option to enable features still considered as 
experimental or what... just guessing tough. I think I will try just 
copying your Device entry and see if it helps ;)

"EnableDepthMoves", "AGPSize", "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" and "GARTSize" are 
also not documented in the radeon man page. 

BTW I think Option "DPMS" as well as "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" also should 
be written as:

Option "DPMS" "true"

or

Option "DPMS" "false"

but maybe thats not really needed.
