I let Branden take care of it ;-). The installation automagic mostly
works for me. Please note, however, that I'm using the Radeon VE. Not
all Radeons appear to be supported under x4.1.

FWIW here's the corresponding portion (extract) from my X config:

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"MyRadeon"
	Driver		"radeon"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"MyMonitor"
	HorizSync	30-54
	VertRefresh	50-85
	Option		"DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	Device		"MyRadeon"
	Monitor		"MyMonitor"
	DefaultDepth	16
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		1
		Modes		"800x600"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		4
		Modes		"800x600"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		8
		Modes		"800x600"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		15
		Modes		"800x600"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		16
		Modes		"800x600"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		24
		Modes		"800x600"
	EndSubSection
EndSection
