Did you need to do anything special, or did it just work?

Interesting part of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf would be:
====
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ATI Technologies, Inc. RV250 5c63 [Radeon Mobility 9200 M9+]"
        Driver          "radeon"
        BusID           "PCI:0:16:0"
        VideoRam        65536
        Option          "UseFBDev"              "true"
        Option          "OverlayOnCRTC2"        "true"
        Option          "MergedFB"              "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "COLOR LCD"
        Option          "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Device          "ATI Technologies, Inc. RV250 5c63 [Radeon Mobility 9200 M9+]"
        Monitor         "COLOR LCD"
        DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           24
                Modes           "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection
