Hi,

I have just tried xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.7.192-4.  Now it works on 
my external monitor (Samsung).  I have a PowerBook5,2 (4 years old).

I put powerbook-duallink as MacModel.

A few comments:

- after "xrandr --output DVI-0 --reflect x" and "xrandr --output DVI-0 
--rotation left", the mouse pointer on my LDVS is rotated.  Is it a bug 
of a feature :o) ?  Can it be rotated only on the rotated output?

- both xrandr -q and xrandr --prop black DVI-0 (but not LVDS) for 2-3 sec.

- When executing "xrandr --output DVI-0 --right-of LVDS" with both 
outputs in mode 1024x768 I get:
xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1280x1200 (desired size 2048x768)
How can I enlarge the 1280x1200 value in order to put one output at the 
right of the other?  Here is the output of xrandr -q:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1200
LVDS connected 1280x854+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 
0mm x 0mm

-  how can i see if a monitor is enabled?  I noticed that when enabled 
its dimensions in mm are printed (such as 330mm x 270mm).  Maybe 
printing "not enabled" and "enabled 330mm x 270mm" would be clearer?

- for LVDS, "xrandr -q" prints always 0mm x 0mm
