I think it can probably be closed, but I'd like to do so with a coherent
summary of what the problem was, because I've gotten a bit lost in all
the discussion and with the various blind alleys we've been down with
this bug.

I'd like to see something of the form:

PROBLEM: My <video card> hooked up to a <monitor> didn't <foo>.

SOLUTION: The radeon driver <barred>.  The default is to <quux>, so you
have to put the line
  Option  "MonitorLayout" "CRT,NONE"
in the "Device" Section of your XF86Config-4 file to tell the driver to
<blerg> instead of <quuxing>.

Can you guys fill in the blanks, please?  I'm thinking Mr. Schierer can
better fill in the problem statement, and Mr. Dänzer the solution.
