Re: rigmarole about debian and radeon
first I want to thank you for your help Camaleón

everyone has his believes and little inconsistencies;)

yes that's the case. The kde Monitor configuration tool sometimes does not
recognize the HDMI device and just blank fields are displayed. My little VGA
Monitor then becomes the main display and the only one stated in the kde tool.
The HDMI Monitor does not start at all or becomes the extended virtual
screen. On boot-up only the middle part of my big HDMI screen is used and the
login screen blinks slowly

I don't think there is something like a static config file. I'll show you the
ls output of /etc/X11
ls -p /etc/X11
app-defaults/ default-display-manager rgb.txt xinit/ Xreset
Xresources/ Xsession.d/ XvMCConfig
cursors/ fonts/ X xkb/ Xreset.d/ Xsession
Xsession.options Xwrapper.config

direct rendering sounds good. After solving my display problems you are
invited to show me how to enable it ...
3D is quite nice too but not really necessary now...
