I tried c0c33dab44e6966b1702d4e8cfba3537fc6e2d5c
from git://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/
and that seems to work both with and without patch.
(xrandr also names this device DVI-0 instead of the LVDS
of the lenny version).

While testing this when terminating the server with the patched new
radeon_drv.so, I got some error of suddenly no signal at all
and the computer very slow (especially disk accesses it seems).
It only happened with the patched git version yet, but it happens
so seldom that it might be coincidence and I just was not yet able to
reproduce with other versions...

Hochachtungsvoll,
