Bloody legend (as some of us in Australia might say :).
That link did it for me, with its example. I'd read the HOWTO
examples, and others, and hadn't figured it out. For future
reference, here's the relevant sections of my current Radeon

-----------------
The interesting thing to note is that there really must be two
Device sections, even though there is only one card. I had read
this in the man page, but my attempts to make that work didn't
work.
Next: to plug in the NEC LCD.
thanks
