that's the git repository.  That contains all branches.  Here's what
you'll need to do.

1. make sure you have at least xserver 1.3 or higher
2. install your distro's xorg-dev, xserver-dev, mesa-dev packages
3. backup your old ati_drv.so and radeon_drv.so
4. grab the ati git tree:
git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati
5. switch to the newly cloned directory
cd xf86-video-ati
6. check out the randr-1.2 branch
git 1.4:
git checkout randr-1.2
git 1.5:
git checkout origin/randr-1.2
7. ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
8. make
9. as root:
make install

if you want to play with tv-out, you also need the latest xrandr package:
1. git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/app/xrandr
2. cd xrandr
3. ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
4. make
5. as root:
make install

Once you've done that you can use xrandr to control your outputs and
crtc orientations.
