Yep, it's a Radeon card, but the proprietary driver is pretty good. I'd
rather use an open-source but I need twin-head capability and it seems
the proprietary driver is the only way to go for that.<br>
Watching developments with the xorg driver with interest...<br>

Worry not. Help is on the way:

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd/">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd/</a>

SUSE/Novell's new open source driver based on the open sourced specs for
AMD's ATIs (such as X1300 and X1400 that come with the T60, like mine).
