This is what I know:
1. xorg-server-1.2 & friends, uses ati-6 and works as expected.
2. xorg-server-1.13 & up, uses ati-7 and X does not start.
3. Changing xorg.conf for #2 above to use vesa driver:
a) If Display has only one choice of 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480
then X starts and runs at that mode.
b) If Display has all 3, I can cycle cycle thru the 3 modes,
but only one mode works. The other two look like backslashes.
4. I do not know if #2 & #3 above are related.
